BirdLife Sverige (known as the Swedish Ornithological Society, Sveriges ornitologiska förening, or SOF before 2014) is a Swedish ornithological society founded in 1945 and a BirdLife partner. It currently has 11,000 members, 24 regional branches, and a staff of 24.[1]

The main three goals of the organization are:[1]

  • bird conservation;
  • to carry out investigation and documentation;
  • to promote interest in birds and birdwatching.

BirdLife Sverige develop an electronic, internet-based bird reporting system called Artportalen,[2] used by thousands of Swedish bird watchers to report sightings.[1][3]

The organization also publishes three magazines: Vår Fågelvärld, Ornis Svecica and Fågelvännen.[4]
