Explore the stories, science, and success your generosity brings to life for birds and people alike.
2026 Annual Impact Report
This year is pivotal for Birds Canada as our 2026-2030 Strategic Plan sets a clear direction, grounded in science and inspired by something we know well: conservation works. Over the next five years, our work will be guided by three pillars — Uncover, Unite, Act.
These pillars guide our work towards a future where birds thrive in healthy, diverse habitats. It’s possible to turn the tide for birds. And throughout this report, you’ll see what turning the tide looks like: scientific insights informing conservation decisions, collaborations that conserved 236,790 hectares of important places, and a growing community of people like you who are ready to take action.
Thank you for supporting Birds Canada. We are proud of the accomplishments you’ve helped us achieve, as shown in past annual reports and financial statements.
