Pacific

We are a flourishing network of seven national organisations supported by a small BirdLife Team in Fiji, and all the local people that we work with along the way.

The Pacific has more threatened bird species per unit of land area, or per person, than any other region in the world and is home to around a quarter of the world’s globally threatened bird species.

Preventing Extinctions: bringing the world’s most threatened birds back from the brink

Our planet is in the midst its sixth mass extinction event, with climate change, habitat destruction and other human activities devastating the diversity of life on the planet. But while the crisis is undeniably urgent, there’s also hope. Humans may create huge challenges – but with enough support, dedication and resources, we can also reverse them.

Restoring precious island ecosystems

BirdLife’s ambitious island restoration work addresses this outsized impact on extinctions integrating the species, sites and society pillars of its new strategy. Working with local BirdLife partners and local communities around the globe, in the Pacific, off Latin America, or the California coast for example, we help restore island ecosystems by eradicating invasive alien species. The work improves livelihoods, food security, health and wellbeing.
