Donor's Charter

Our Commitment to Our Donors

We are committed to supporting the conservation of Ireland’s birds and their habitats. Through capital works and consultation we work to ensure a positive future for all species.

Our Work

Ireland is a mosaic of habitats; from our Internationally important blanket bogs to our complex wetland systems, rivers and estuaries, from our endangered native woodland to the marine which defines our island. One-hundred and seventeen habitat types have been officially classified in Ireland, nearly half of which correspond with Annex I of the EU Habitats Directive. Each habitat plays an important role in supporting Irish birds and biodiversity and thanks to your support, it is our task to protect them! In this section you will find information about the capitol works and consultation which we employ on the front line of conservation to protect some of our most endangered breeding birds, including countryside and wetland birds such as the Curlew and Corncrake and seabirds such as Roseate and Little Terns.

Seabirds

A healthy marine environment is crucial for all life on earth. That is why we work tirelessly to highlight the issues that are threatening our oceans and their wildlife. Click here to find out more.
