HOW YOU CAN HELP

The PatchBird Initiative represents a powerful opportunity to contribute to global ornithology by blending technology, citizen science, and conservation.
Built on the foundation of the eBird platform, this initiative empowers birders and nature enthusiasts to document bird sightings using a simple, standardised method. Each observation contributes to a growing, spatially structured dataset that supports researchers, conservationists, and decision-makers worldwide.

Whether you're a seasoned birder or a casual observer, your participation truly matters. Your contributions help detect long-term trends, guide conservation priorities, and build a deeper understanding of bird populations across habitats and seasons.
