Our engagement

A partnership program to help support birds

Birds need habitats of sufficient quantity and quality in order to thrive. This is the focus of our new framework program “Upswing for birds”.  Together with various partners, we carry out projects throughout Switzerland to improve habitats and ensure their availability in the long term.

Forest habitats

Our Forest team is committed to preserving and promoting Switzerland’s forest habitats for birds. We focus on training and continuing education in forestry, ensure knowledge is transferred into practice and contribute to reducing the deficits of waste wood and dead wood as well as species-specific, special and rare habitats through specific funding projects and land conservation in forests.

Other ways in which you can support the Swiss Ornithological Institute
