Following our mission – connecting birds and people, we are committed to the development of efficient conservation network for the protection of birds and their habitats in Armenia.

What our organization is doing?

  • We popularize birds and their protection among the residents of our country and unite bird lovers in the Armenian Association of Birdwatchers

  • We design a system of national bird monitoring.

  • We develop the concept of Important Bird Areas in the republic.

  • We assess the conservation status of birds in Armenia.

  • We update the current legislation regarding the protection of birds and their use as a resource.

  • We support the fulfillment of Armenia’s obligations towards a number of international conventions in the part that is related to birds.

  • We form an information agenda for the protection of birds and their habitats in Armenia.

  • We develop educational and environmental programs for schoolchildren, bird defenders and birders.

  • We position Armenia among the international community of birdwatchers as an interesting and convenient place for birding and eco-tourism.

Much of this work is done thanks to the help and participation of our community members – bird protectors, birders, scientists and colleagues from international conservation organizations.
