Since its inception (July 2004) the WildSounds Commission for Conservation program has raised over £1000 pounds a year for conservation charities around the world. This is in addition to the thousands of pounds WildSounds already donates to wildlife and bird conservation through other means.

Commission for Conservation is a referral program, whereby each sale generated by a customer referred to our web-site by a like-minded organization or a charity, earns between 3% and 5% commission which is donated to a nominated charity. Some of the organisations who have joined the program include:

• African Bird Club (£994.38 raised to date)
• Avian Adventures (£4.09 raised to date for Birdlife International)
• BirdQuest (£5.55 raised to date for Birdlife International)
• Birdwatching Magazine (£1562.31 raised for the Hawk & Owl Trust)
• In Focus (£28.34 raised for Birdlife International)
• Hawk & Owl Trust (£12.29 raised)
• Limosa Holidays (£167.81 raised for the Oriental Bird Club's Sociable Plover Fund)
• Leicestershire & Rutland Ornithological Society (£52.92)
• Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust (£1.25 which we have rounded up to £10.00)
• Norfolk Wildlife Trust (£55.17 raised so far)
• Sunbird (£6.78 raised for Birdlife International)
• WildWings (£25.49 raised for the "Save the Albatross" campaign - Birdlife International)
