A Strategy for Birds and People: Responding to our changing world

Values, needs and solutions are as diverse as the participants at this COP – localness matters! What does biodiversity mean to YOU?

FACT 1BirdLife is supporting local communities to integrate conservation and livelihoods development at the local-level

FACT 2BirdLife is developing a toolkit for rapid site-based assessment of ecosystem services, and building capacity to use it

FACT 3BirdLife is working with the private sector to develop decision-support tools which help industry to avoid negative environmental impacts

Natewa Tunuloa Important Bird Area in Fiji covers large tracts of old-growth rainforest. BirdLife supported the establishment of the community-based Sisi Initiative in response to threats including illegal logging and forest fires which were degrading the local environment and worsening local poverty.
