Lend your voice to Pak Thale. 📣

In the southern Thailand province of Phetchaburi, along the Gulf of Thailand, thousands of people and birds depend on these thriving wetlands. The proposed development puts these areas at risk of pollution and collisions. Because so many migratory birds rely on this site, it could also disturb the entire East Asian-Australasian Flyway and the people that count on it.

A huge congratulations to Parveen Shaikh for winning the Whitley Award for her work to protect the Endangered Indian Skimmer populations across India! 🥳

Two BirdLife Partners awarded conservation’s ‘Green Oscars’! 🏆

Parveen Shaikh (India, Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) OFFICIAL and Paola Sangolquí (Ecuador, de conservación jocotoco) have each received a 2026 Whitley Award for community-led conservation work protecting threatened birds and habitats. 🌍

Along India’s Chambal River, Parveen’s nest guardian programme has helped protect the Endangered Indian Skimmer by working with local communities to monitor fragile sandbank nests, deter threats and safeguard breeding sites. 🐦

Since 2017, the skimmer population here has grown from around 400 to nearly 1,000 birds. 📈

In Ecuador’s Galápagos Islands, Paola is protecting the Galápagos Petrel by partnering with farmers, landowners and local people to identify hidden nests, protect burrows, control invasive predators and build trust with those who share the land. 🏝️

Together, they show that conservation succeeds when local people are supported to protect the species living alongside them. 🤝
