The Partership is coordinated by a global secretariat in Cambridge, UK, and by regional secretariats, such as the Americas in Quito, Africa in Nairobi, etc.  The secretariats are directed by a Council elected by the regional Partnerships.  Partners’ representatives on the Council are currently: Argentina, New Zealand, Palau, Spain, Jordan, Kenya, Switzerland, the USA, Ghana, India, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Netherlands, the UK and Paraguay.

 

Policy is made by consensus amongst the partnership, led by coordination groups from partners, and approved by the Council or at Global partnership meetings.  The climate change task force comprises partners from the UK, USA, Malaysia, Paraguay, Samoa, Germany, and The Africa Secretariat.

 

The BirdLife International Partnership strives to conserve birds, their habitats and global biodiversity, working 

with people towards sustainability in the use of natural resources.
