Over 450 leading conservationists from BirdLife national Partner organisations and over 100 countries are meeting at the BirdLife International World Conference to discuss their strategy to halt the trends outlined in the report. In spite of today's disturbing figures there is still time to save nearly all the planet's threatened birds from extinction. BirdLife International Partnership launches BirdLife 2000. BirdLife 2000 is the strategy that will be implemented by all BirdLife Partner organisations. It is a strategy to conserve the worlds birds and to look at the contribution birds can make to wider environmental matters.
People depend on biodiversity and natural resources.
The sustainable use of these resources is crucial to many people's quality of life. Poverty alleviation and environmental care are strictly connected. BirdLife 2000 places a strong emphasis on the human dimension, recognising that birds and biodiversity conservation will be achieved only through involving people. Including access to threatened bird pictures and other related material. BirdLife International is a global partnership of conservation organisations that focuses on birds and their habitats and, through that, works for the sustainability of all life on earth.
