A climate-friendly approach to ornithology is being advocated by a growing number of birdwatchers and researchers. The aim of this website is to contribute to this collective effort.
Low-carbon birding can mean different things to different people. For some it is simply about slowing down and experimenting with more fulfilling ways of enjoying and studying birds. For others it is a way to cope with anxieties caused by the climate crisis, the dilution of old certainties, and the need to redirect our dreams and expectations.
For many low-carbon birding is about advocating a birding culture that is aligned with the realities of the climate crisis, one that can be enjoyed by all—and not just a select few—in a liveable planet.
