Jesteśmy Organizacją Pożytku Publicznego, stowarzyszeniem ochrony przyrody zarejestrowanym w Polsce. Zajmujemy się ochroną dzikich gatunków, zwłaszcza ptaków. Pomagamy chronić siedliska, również te ukształtowane przez człowieka. Prowadzimy edukację i działania uświadamiające konieczność ochrony przyrody, również w ramach programów szkolnych. W nasze działania włączamy dzieci i młode osoby i staramy się pomóc zrozumieć piękno otaczającej nas przyrody i dziko żyjących gatunków, oraz potrzeba ochrony różnorodności biologicznej. Tworzymy platfromy porozumienia społecznego, a także integrujemy społeczności lokalne wokół naszych działań ochronnych. Wspieramy zrównoważony rozwój gospodarczy oraz działania zmierzające do zachowania lokalnej kultury i tradycji.
