The most important way in which A Rocha is saving birds is by protecting some of the world’s richest habitats. Important Bird Areas (IBAs) are recognised worldwide as sites of international significance for birds and other wildlife. A Rocha is deeply involved in protecting four of them: Boundary Bay, SW Canada; Atewa Range Forest Reserve, Ghana; and the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest and Dakatcha Woodlands, Kenya.

Our work brings together students, volunteers and biologists to carry out research and monitoring projects at these IBAs and many other important sites. And not just for birds! A Rocha International’s Science and Conservation team provides them with training, guidance and expertise. But we need your help!
