CONSERVATION

Give the night room

Healthy habitats and thoughtful land use help owls and the ecosystems around them.

Small choices matter

Habitat loss, collisions and poisoning can threaten owls. Their needs vary by region and species, so local conservation groups are the best source for practical action.

01

Keep habitat connected

Protect mature trees, hedgerows and uncultivated patches where local conditions allow.

02

Limit rodent poison

Owls can be harmed when they eat poisoned prey. Use non-chemical pest control where practical.

03

Observe gently

Watch from a distance, especially near nests. Give resting birds a quiet path away.
