| BLZ
was founded in 1951 as the Rhodesian Ornithological Society then a branch
of the Southern African Ornithological Society (now BirdLife South Africa).
The ROS was reconstituted as the Ornithological Association of Zimbabwe
(OAZ) in 1981. In 1998 a strategic planning workshop was held
to decide the future direction of the OAZ, its fundamental purpose and
its major objectives. The OAZ became a Partner Designate to BirdLife
International (BLI) later that year. BLI is a global partnership
of almost 100 NGOs that have a common interest in the conservation of
birds and biodiversity. We share its ideas and values and participate
in its strategies and programmes. Our UK partner, the Royal Society
for the Protection of Birds assists us with funding both for core activities
and for our education programme. In order to better reflect its
new emphasis on conservation, OAZ changed its name to BirdLife Zimbabwe
in 1999. We became a full member in BirdLife International (BLI)
in April 2002. We would like to thank MWeb Zimbabwe for hosting our web site as a public service |
