Bird conservation in Africa primarily focuses on combating habitat destruction and fragmentation, the leading threats to its over 2,000 bird species. Organizations like BirdLife International and the African Bird Club implement species action plans, identify Important Bird Areas (IBAs), and work to mitigate threats like poisoning and the illegal wild bird trade. Socio-economic challenges like poverty and political instability often hinder effective implementation, necessitating inclusive, community-based conservation strategies and better data collection. Conservation efforts emphasize birds' ecological roles as pollinators, seed dispersers, and pest controllers, linking avian health to human benefits. ​
