Practical conservation

What We Do

Ortolan combines storytelling with small, practical actions for birds in the PACA region.

Birdhouses

We install and maintain birdhouses in suitable locations, helping cavity-nesting birds find safer breeding opportunities where natural nesting places are scarce.

Winter feeding

During cold periods, we provide bird feeders, seeds, and water support while following responsible feeding guidance to reduce disease and predator risks.

Awareness campaigns

We run small campaigns that explain how people can help birds: keeping cats away from feeders, cleaning feeding stations, preserving hedges, and avoiding pesticides.

Species storytelling

Each month, we publish a simple story about an endangered or declining species, focusing first on European birds and wildlife.

Our principles

Local first: start with visible actions close to home.
Transparent spending: show what donations buy.
Responsible care: avoid harmful feeding or poorly placed nesting boxes.
Partnership-ready: collaborate with people and groups who share the mission.
