Advocating Change
BirdLife Partners are working together on a range of global policy sectors. Taking the Partnership's conservation goals for species, sites and habitats as a foundation for policy development, BirdLife works with a growing network of people to advocate policy change. A sound foundation in scientific analysis keeps our policy work clearly focussed on benefits for birds and biodiversity, and for all the people who depend on their conservation in the future.
BirdLife Partners interact with a wide range of policy players in government, in the agency and development community, and within many other NGOs. Our policy work seeks to link global, regional, national, and local concerns, and we are heavily investing in developing advocacy capacity. For many sectors BirdLife Partners work closely with the convention community, investing in support of joint and harmonised work programmes, and in processes that can, and must, lead to effective local outcomes.
