Birdlife Northern Natal

Birdlife Northern Natal was formed in May 2000 as a full branch of Birdlife South Africa. We subscribe to the constitutional principles of BLSA and its international partners and as such present typical birding activities, examples of which are mentioned below.  The committee of BLNN decided from the very start to become involved in the marketing of our region as a top birdwatching destination. This culminated in the formation of the Amajuba Birding Meander whereby partnerships were formed with the Amajuba District Municipality, tourism authorities as well as local lodges and bed and breakfast establishments. The Meander will be utilised as a vehicle for greater involvement in community development and regional avi-tourism applications to poverty relief funds. BLNN also runs annual public awareness campaigns. We are currently focussing on Birds of Prey. In this process, the focus falls on identification courses, the establishment of vulture restaurants, the presentation of farmers days, etc.
