EAZA Members have always had a strong focus on the conservation of songbirds, especially Asian songbirds during the Silent Forest Campaign, but even afterwards support for songbirds in general remains strong. The clear commitment from EAZA members is reflected in the EAZA Conservation Database as shown in the infographic below. To learn more go read all about it in the EAZA December Conservation Snapshot.
To all the supporters of the Silent Forest Campaign our heartfelt gratitude. HOWEVER, the work will continue and the TAG working group on Asian Songbirds will in the future adapt the name Silent Forest Working Group and take over the campaign logo and website. The content and communications including social media will be taken over by the working group. Most of the educative resources on this website will in the near future become open source and thereby freely available to anyone educating to make a difference.
Most importantly fundraising will also continue with the same account to be available with EAZA for the next 5 years. Donations should always be marked “Silent Forest” and projects will be selected in accordance with priorities determined by the IUCN SSC Asian Songbird Trade Specialist Group.
