At ProItUp Birding, we believe that birdwatching should be for everyone—whether you’re spotting your first bird in your backyard or traveling to world-famous birding destinations. Our goal is to create an inclusive, welcoming community where beginners and experienced birders alike can connect, learn, and share their passion for nature. Through accessible optical gear, engaging birding events, and meaningful partnerships, we’re making birding fun, educational, and impactful for all.

BirdTalk Powered by Fitch & Leedes: Raising Awareness for Bird Conservation

We’re excited to introduce BirdTalk, our podcast powered by Fitch & Leedes, where conservation meets conversation. BirdTalk brings real stories from conservation leaders, birding experts, and organizations working to protect bird species and their habitats. Through engaging discussions, we aim to shed light on urgent conservation issues—like the declining population of African penguins—and inspire action to safeguard the future of these iconic birds.

​

Our partnership with Fitch & Leedes stems from a shared commitment to conservation. Fitch & Leedes has been a dedicated supporter of SANCCOB (Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds), an organization playing a crucial role in rescuing, rehabilitating, and protecting endangered African penguins. Together, we want to amplify our impact, leveraging both our brands to support SANCCOB and drive awareness for this urgent cause.

Adopting a Penguin for Every Limited Edition Pair of Binoculars Sold

At ProItUp Optics, we recognize that conservation requires action. That’s why, for every Limited Edition pair of binoculars sold, we sponsor the adoption of an African penguin through SANCCOB. By doing so, we’re directly contributing to the protection and rehabilitation of these incredible birds, ensuring that future generations can experience the joy of seeing them in the wild.

​

But we don’t want to stop there. We invite all our customers and the global community to support SANCCOB in the best possible way—whether through donations, adoptions, or spreading awareness. The survival of African penguins is not just a conservation issue; it’s vital for South Africa’s tourism industry. Tourists travel from all over the world to witness these charismatic seabirds along our coastline. Protecting them means protecting an integral part of South Africa’s natural heritage and economy.

Fitch & Leedes & ProItUp Optics: Uniting for a Greater Cause

Fitch & Leedes’ longstanding support of SANCCOB was the catalyst for our collaboration. Their commitment to conservation aligns perfectly with our mission at ProItUp Optics, and together, we’re working to maximize our impact. By joining forces, we aim to elevate awareness, drive engagement, and generate critical funding to support SANCCOB’s penguin conservation initiatives.

​

BirdTalk, powered by Fitch & Leedes, will be a key platform in this effort. Through insightful conversations and expert interviews, we’ll highlight the challenges facing African penguins, showcase SANCCOB’s incredible work, and encourage the world to take action. Whether you're a passionate birder or simply someone who cares about wildlife, this podcast will provide valuable insights into how we can all contribute to conservation.
