The Problem

Global bird populations are severely declining, mainly due to major habitat loss.

Our Plan

Members will be able to access instructions to build nesting boxes for local birds. These will be built for specific species and members should use the resources provided on the Just One Planet website to choose one that is applicable. After building them, members will be able to send pictures/videos of their finished projects to be posted to Just One Planet social media platforms.
