Our Mission: “To conserve Bermuda’s special bird life and habitats for the benefit of all.”
The Bermuda Audubon Society is a membership society run by an executive committee of volunteers. A non-profit registered charity (No. 99), we have no premises or paid staff and rely on voluntary assistance from our members and the corporate community.
The Bermuda Audubon Society:
- Brings together those interested in birding and environmental conservation for shared information and enjoyment.
- Acquires land for nature reserves and restores wetlands and other wildlife habitats. We have 20 nature reserves in Bermuda – approximately 77 acres of open space – under our care. Several properties were acquired jointly with the Bermuda National Trust through the Buy Back Bermuda campaign.
- Provides conservation education through field trips, lectures and an annual birding camp.
- Advocates for Bermuda’s natural environment and promotes public awareness of environmental issues.
- Supports conservation projects such as the Bluebird, Longtail and Cahow nest-site programmes.
- Gathers bird data through an annual Christmas Bird Count and member contributions to the e-bird database, and funds research relevant to its mission.
The Bermuda Audubon Society works closely with other local environmental organisations:
- Bermuda National Trust
- Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo (BAMZ)
- Bermuda Environmental & Sustainability Taskforce (BEST)
- Department of Conservation Services
- Greenrock
- Keep Bermuda Beautiful
The Bermuda Audubon Society is a member of Birds Caribbean and an associate member of the UK Overseas Territories Conservation Forum. The RSPB represents UK Overseas Territories as the UK partner of BirdLife International.
