The birds our teachers: John Stott Birding Day 2026 - A Rocha International ‘It was Jesus Christ himself in the Sermon on the Mount who told us to be birdwatchers,’ John Stott exclaimed in his ‘orni-theological’ treatise, The Birds Our Teachers. A dear friend of […]
Reefs are often called the 'rainforests of the sea.' About 25% of the ocean's fish depend on healthy coral reefs. Fishes and other organisms shelter, find food, reproduce, and rear their young in the many nooks and crannies formed by corals.
Today, on World Reef Day, we celebrate the work of marine teams that work towards the restoration of coral reefs through scientific research. In Kenya, A Rocha is working on finding coral that is resistant to bleaching, planting nurseries and replanting them on affected coral reefs in the hope that they thrive and restore the habitat of several marine life.

🎉 Congratulations to the winners of the John Stott Birding Day bird race: the Gardner-Webb ASA chapter!
In South Carolina, USA, the group spotted a team record of 116 species! The dedicated group of three birders woke up at dawn and went back out after dark to record an array of owls, woodpeckers, vireos, and many more.
This year, birders in 12 countries around the world spotted 754 species: an impressive tally for a relatively low number of countries. That’s roughly 7% of all the bird species in the world!
Enormous thanks to everyone who joined A Rocha for a day of birding in memory of our friend John Stott. We can’t wait to see you next year!

For more than 30 years, salmon were blocked from reaching critical spawning habitat in Canada’s Tatalu watershed. Now, A Rocha Canada has made a path for them!
An impassable culvert once prevented migrating salmon from swimming up Jacobsen Creek, affecting the creek’s ecological balance. To help bring back the salmon, A Rocha Canada’s BC Conservation Science team constructed a fishway and rehabilitated surrounding habitat in 2023.
The fishway raised the streambed to the height of the culvert and followed the creek’s natural meander, providing a safe passage for salmon to 4 km of previously inaccessible spawning and rearing habitat. In 2025, Chinook and Coho salmon were observed spawning upstream!
