About the Campaign
From habitat loss and pet predation to pesticide-caused crashes in their prey populations of flying insects to climate change; humans have played the leading role in the loss of our cherished swallows. Nature Canada is not giving up on these migratory birds. Rather, we believe it is the perfect time for ALL of us to do our part in helping the swallows make a recovery.
First established in May 2018, our Save our Swallows campaign has built a solid foundation for swallow conservation. By working with different organizations and community partners such as farmers, researchers, Indigenous communities and naturalists we are deepening our understanding of the issues that swallows and their roosts face as well as addressing specific issues regarding each of Ontario’s swallow species.
