What we do

Kilombero Valley ornithological Center work is aligned to the four pillars of Species, Sites and Habitats, Ecological Sustainability and People.  Within this framework, the Kilombero Valley Ornithological Center emphasises developing positive linkages between birds, biodiversity and the livelihoods of people. 

The Kilombero Valley Ornithological Center wishes to significantly reduce and reverse the rate of loss of the region’s biodiversity. Our efforts to achieve this focus on conservation action for priority species, and priority habitats for bird and biodiversity conservation.  We also work to empower local people to analyze threats and develop safeguard options that suit local socio-economic contexts and use existing indigenous knowledge.
