Seed dispersal
Birds carry seeds across landscapes, regenerating forests and woodland.
Pollination
Nectar-feeding birds pollinate wild plants and crops.
Pest control
Insect-eating and raptor species keep pest populations in balance.
Ecological balance
Birds link plants, insects and predators across whole ecosystems.
Indicators of environmental change
Shifts in bird populations signal changes in habitat and climate early.
Birdwatching and nature-based tourism
Birds create real economic opportunity for guides, communities and young people.
