2025 Final Results
In a word, unbelievable! At a time when the world feels fractured, we demonstrated that we can and will come together for the birds. Collectively, we found 8,078 species of the world’s known species, that is 158 more than in 2024. Hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world were birding during those four days in February. Our whole is more powerful than the sum of the parts.
