About AvayeBoom Bird Conservation Society
The bird population in developing countries is rapidly declining due to economic challenges, increasing human presence, habitat destruction, and pollution. Protecting birds and their habitats in a sustainable way is essential.
Iran, located on the migratory path of seasonal birds, is crucial for bird conservation. AvayeBoom Bird Conservation Society is the only specialized NGO in central Iran focusing on this mission. Our activities extend throughout the country, aiming to preserve bird populations through lobbying, education, promoting birdwatching, and rescuing endangered birds.
