Helping Birds on the Brink of Extinction

We work to assist threatened bird populations around the world by supporting projects that focus on immediate bird survivability and population stabilization.

There are over 9,900 known species of birds. One hundred and twenty-eight (128) have already become extinct – lost to the world forever.

The number of bird species in danger of extinction today is increasing as the world’s human population expands, we use more natural resources, pollution continues to degrade the environment, and we put other priorities ahead of environmental and wildlife conservation.

But it’s not too late… and you can help.

To help save threatened bird species, BRI focuses on reintroduction projects to stabilize populations in their natural habitats, and preventing loss of species from aviculture activities (the practice of keeping birds in captivity).

BRI has been a leader in developing a new approach for the viable reintroduction of captive bred and specially trained birds back into natural habitats. BRI also works to educate about, and support, rare captive bird breeding programs.
