Why we are here
We are working to secure a better future for birds and nature, using our science, monitoring and data to inform good environmental decisions, inspiring others with the wonder of birds and empowering them to work with us.
Birds, Science and People are the core of our organisation, and our unique long-term partnership between volunteer observers and professional staff has afforded us a deep understanding of birds in a changing world. We have strengthened our role within the conservation sector, providing robust scientific evidence to support solution-orientated action, and we are working to inspire a greater number and diversity of people to engage actively with BTO, so they can experience the benefits of biodiversity and the power of science first-hand.
How we are making a difference
That we are making a difference can be seen through the outcomes of our six action areas, which form the framework for the delivery of our current strategy and its two overarching objectives. This strategy builds on earlier work, and runs through to 2030. Our strategy is integrated into the way we do our business, interact with our volunteers and supporters, communicate our findings and work with our partners.
