Vogelbescherming Nederland (in English: Society for the Protection of Birds, Netherlands) is the national bird protection organisation for the Netherlands. It is a non-governmental organisation, and it is the Dutch partner in BirdLife International.[1][2]
Vogelbescherming Nederland is one of the oldest existing bird conservation societies. It was founded in 1899 (under the name Vereeniging tot Bescherming van Vogels),[1] based in part on a forerunner society Bond ter Bestrijding eener Gruwelmode founded in 1892 whose mission was primarily to oppose the hunting of birds for the use of their feathers in fashion.[3][circular reference]
Among other public events, Vogelbescherming organises the annual Tuinvogeltelling (garden bird count).[4][5]
