Lisa Sorenson's Story

I have had the honor and privilege of serving as BirdsCaribbean's Executive Director, working with the most amazing and dedicated network of partners, staff, members, and volunteers. I have seen firsthand the progress that we have made in changing lives and saving birds - endemics, residents and migrants - and their habitats over the past few years. 


Last year was a banner of year of accomplishments: we completed 10 training workshops - providing skills, resources, and mentoring to 175+ Caribbean wildlife professionals on 10+ islands. We also provided materials and small grants to many partners to carry our vital conservation and education projects, all working with communities and raising awareness about the incredible birds and nature in each island. 


Please help us continue this impactful work in 2023 by donating to our end-of-year campaign! 


We need your help to continue to give training opportunities, materials, and funding to our deserving partners and aspiring conservation leaders. 


Please donate today! Together, we can make a difference to change the culture and build a region where people appreciate, conserve, and benefit from thriving bird populations and ecosystems.  

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT!

Lisa Thank you, Hitoshi, this is so very kind of you to donate in honor of my parents. We both loved them very much and miss them terribly, but their spirits live in in our families and everyone that knew them. Thanks again for your generosity. One of these days, I am going to take you birding - it's a promise, not a threat!!! 🦜 🦩 🦉
