WE DID IT—And it’s all thanks to you!!❤️
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for another spectacular #GlobalBigDay!🥰 We are SO proud to announce that this has been our biggest Big Day ever. And it’s all because of you!!💖
In a truly record-shattering year, 2024 saw us host more teams (29—12 up from 17 in 2023); spot more unique species (1354, from 1146 in 2023); and in a real coup for citizen science across the islands, we had a huuge leap in the number of checklists submitted—2755 total, nearly 1,000 more than last year—phenomenal!!!🤯 The icing on the cake? You also helped us raise more funds for scholarships for deserving Caribbean conservationists than ever before!
305 generous supporters like yourself joined us and donated an incredible $25,007 for Caribbean representation at #BirdsCaribDR2024!! We cannot express how deeply grateful we are to each and every one of you! Because of your wonderful generosity, along with sponsorships and support from other amazing funders, we are proud to be able to award funding to 63 stellar Caribbean delegates!! We can’t wait to greet these dedicated students and conservationists in Santo Domingo, and to work with them to advance avian conservation across the region!
We’ve received so many applications for support from phenomenal candidates across the islands and we want to stretch our ambitions to accommodate them as far as possible. To do this, we need to raise more than our initial goal of $25,000—we are increasing our goal to $30K and we hope that you will consider supporting us once more. Thank you for standing by our side, and for believing in our mission to love and protect our precious Caribbean birds and the habitats they depend on.
With your support, we will continue to make great strides in protecting birds and their homes, supporting communities, and sustaining future generations of bird advocates to come.🦩💖🦜

Keep up the great work birders! 🌟
We hope that all is going well and according to plan! We know that some of you have been up before the crack of dawn so we’re here to remind you to take a few minutes to rest, hydrate 💧 and grab a quick bite. Also take this time to check in with your team members, though we suspect that WhatsApp group chats have been popping or pinging nonstop since this morning. 😃
Don’t forget that this is also a fundraising competition to help Caribbean conservationists attend our conference in the Dominican Republic, this July!❤️🤍💙 Now might be a good time to share your team’s page on Givebutter with friends and family that you haven’t reached out to as yet. Together we can reach, and even exceed, our goal!!!
P.S. If you’re posting to social media📲, please tag us and use the #GlobalBigDayBirdsCarib!
Keep up the excellent effort!!!! 👏
