BirdLife International in Indochina

BirdLife International in Indochina is a regional programme of the BirdLife Secretariat. BirdLife International in Indochina works to promote conservation in the Kingdom of Cambodia, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, the Union of Myanmar and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. BirdLife International took the step of establishing an Indochina programme to address global conservation priorities in a region lacking indigenous civil society. Our name was chosen to reflect the biogeographic region we cover, which is the Indochinese peninsula, also known as the Greater Mekong Region. Bird Conservation Society of Thailand is the BirdLife partner organisation in the Kingdom of Thailand.

Mission Statement
