BirdLife Northern Queensland is one of the largest BirdLife Australia branches, encompassing the Torres Strait, Cape York, eastern Gulf Country, north-eastern arid interior, and the Wet Tropics. With such a diverse variety of habitats, the area has the largest avifauna of any region in Australia, with over 630 species recorded. The region is a hotspot for biodiversity but many species are at risk. Threats including climate change, habitat loss and degradation, invasive plants and pest animals, are having adverse impacts on our bird life. Unless urgent action is taken, we risk losing them forever.
Australia's voice for birds since 1901
The BirdLife Australia brand is trusted and respected. It is one of the organisations most valuable assets and must be managed with the utmost care and consistency. As one of over 30 branches around Australia, BirdLife Northern Queensland consistently leads the way and sets the benchmark in application of the BirdLife brand nationally.
