About US
BirdLife South Africa
The mission of BirdLife South Africa is to promote the enjoyment, conservation, study and understanding of wild birds and their habitats.
Nomenclature History
1905-1929: South African Ornithologists' Union
1930-1975: South African Ornithological Society
1976-1996: Southern African Ornithological Society
1996- present: BirdLife South Africa
BirdLife South Africa's aims are to:
Prevent the extinction of any bird species
Maintain and where possible improve the conservation status of all bird species
Conserve and where appropriate improve and enlarge sites and habitats that are important for birds
Help, through birds, to conserve biodiversity and to improve the quality of people's lives
Integrate bird conservation into sustaining people's livelihoods.
There are many reasons why we should conserve birds, including:
Birds are an important component part of the world's biodiversity, providing important ecosystem services
The bird watching industry is a growing economic force.
Societies value birds for economic, cultural, ethical and spiritual reasons. In parts of Africa a special relationship exists between birds and local cultures. Birds have inspired artists, and bird images are frequently used to adorn everyday objects like coins, bank notes and postage stamps. Birds are increasingly becoming key elements in revenue generating eco-tourism.
Birds are indicators of the state of the environment. In general, places that are rich in bird species are also rich in other forms of biodiversity. Their presence indicates a healthy environment.
