Who we are

We are the most active non-governmental, non-profit nature conservation organization in Cyprus. Our mission is to protect the wild birds of Cyprus, their habitats, and wider biodiversity, through monitoring, conservation and education actions, and by developing people’s appreciation of nature.

Why birds matter

Birds are a vital part of nature's balance. Together with millions of other species, birds make up the web of life that supports all life on earth, including ours. Safeguarding birds requires the safeguarding of habitats, which in turn helps safeguard nature and biodiversity - the key to our planet's resilience and our own.

We speak out for nature

From the smallest of wetlands to the most remote of forests, our work has one goal: to safeguard the most important areas for birds and nature on the island. We do this starting from the very top: by influencing decision makers and by making sure that the laws that keep our nature safe from harm are in force.

We keep a close eye on our birds

Be it an endangered raptor or a common garden bird, monitoring our bird populations allows us to monitor the state of our countryside. Understanding how and why bird populations are changing is fundamental to our conservation efforts.

We inspire people

Connecting with nature is good for our health, our well-being and our happiness. Be it young or old, we strive to build people's contact with nature, either in classrooms or in the outdoors, and inspire in people a sense of wonder, love and respect for the natural world.

We care for fragile habitats

Healthy habitats are essential for birds and other wildlife to thrive. By delivering on the ground conservation work, we are able to care for and restore fragile habitats and their biodiversity so that they can become once again a welcoming home to wildlife.

A month of volunteering for BirdLife Cyprus

September 1, 2021

At BirdLife Cyprus, we are very selective when it comes to offering volunteer opportunities, as we always want to ensure it works (and ‘gives’) both ways. Artemis, a 16-year-old student who spent a month volunteering with us this summer, shares her experiences and what she learnt along the way. Thank you, Artemis, for your interest and your passion and for all the valuable help!
