Bird Organizations

• Global Flyway Network "This website summarizes the work of researchers that are affiliated with the research groups of Theunis Piersma at the University of Groningen and the Royal NIOZ Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, and our many collaborators.
  
  This map uses tracks of one bird in each flyway to take you along to where our projects on "tracking and tracing shorebirds" are hosted. Each flyway has a dedicate page where you will find more tracks and specific links"

• Hawk Conservancy Trust "Our conservation and research work takes place in the UK and overseas."

• Raptor Research Foundation "An international scientific society whose primary goal is the accumulation and dissemination of scientific information about raptors."

• The Rewilding Institute "We live for the day when Gray Wolves and Grizzly Bears have connected habitat from Mexico to Alaska, when Pumas have reclaimed their homelands East and West, when salmon and other migratory fish swim freely up and down our continents’ rivers, when the oceans are teeming with whales and sharks, and when all native species regain natural patterns of abundance and distribution."

Cameroon

• Cameroon Wildlife Conservation Society (CWCS) "is a lead national environment NGO in Cameroon founded in February 1997. The organisation’s head office is in Yaoundé. CWCS is administered by a board of directors with more than 100 registered members comprising environment experts, young conservation professionals and students."

Europe

• Central European Society for Raptor Protection (MEGEG) "The focus of the Central European Society for Raptor Protection is on studies on the use of space and the mortality factors in birds of prey in order to be able to make concrete statements on the influence of, for example, infrastructure facilities (overhead lines, wind turbines, ...) as well as illegal persecution (poisoning, shooting, ...) based on scientifically sound results."

• OSPAR "is the mechanism by which 15 Governments & the EU cooperate to protect the marine environment of the North-East Atlantic.
  
  OSPAR started in 1972 with the Oslo Convention against dumping and was broadened to cover land-based sources of marine pollution and the offshore industry by the Paris Convention of 1974. These two conventions were unified, up-dated and extended by the 1992 OSPAR Convention. The new annex on biodiversity and ecosystems was adopted in 1998 to cover non-polluting human activities that can adversely affect the sea.
  
  The fifteen Governments are Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
  
  OSPAR is so named because of the original Oslo and Paris Conventions ("OS" for Oslo and "PAR" for Paris)."

Lolland

• Saksfjed Vildmark "ligger på Lollands sydspids.
  
  Området har en helt særlig betydning pga. sin placering som brohovedet til Nordeuropa, og som en vigtig del af adskillige arters migrationsrute med mindst 255 forskellige observerede fuglearter og et potentiale til endnu flere.
  
  Området er nabo til et af Fugleværnsfondens største naturreservater, nemlig det 217 hektar store Saksfjed-Hyllekrog. Tilsammen har området potentiale til at blive et af de væsentligste naturområder for biodiversitet i form af fugle, insekter og andre arter, der bevæger sig frit. Det samlede område vil være ca. 1.000 hektarer, dvs. ca. 10 km2 hvilket svarer nogenlunde til 1.500 fodboldbaner."

Panama

• Audubon "With 2,490 km (1,550 miles ) of coastline, Panama is a focal point for Audubon’s coastal resilience strategy, which aims to restore or improve the management of 1 million hectares (2.5 million acres) of coastal bird habitat in Latin America and the Caribbean. In Panama, we’re working to mainstream nature-based and green infrastructure solutions into national and regional planning and policy, with the aim of encouraging smarter development and preserving the services that intact coastal ecosystems provide."

Alaska

• Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC) "Most of the animals that have come to AWCC have either been orphaned or injured. With consent from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, animals taken in by AWCC are cared for by our animal care staff and are given a permanent home at AWCC."

Texas

• Texas Prairie Wetlands Project (TPWP) "focus on harvested croplands, moist-soil areas, emergent wetlands and other created wetlands to increase biodiversity for waterfowl and other wetland-dependent species. In return, landowners sign a minimum-10-year wetland development agreement and commit to managing and maintaining the wetlands. TPWP works closely with rice producers to improve fields and infrastructure for water conservation, production and habitat management.
  
  Each year, TPWP projects provide critical staging and wintering habitat for thousands of waterfowl, including white-fronted geese, snow geese, northern pintails, green- and blue-winged teal, gadwalls, northern shovelers and redheads. Resident fulvous and black-bellied whistling ducks, as well as mottled ducks, rely heavily on permanent and semi-permanent wetlands for nesting and brood rearing during the spring and summer.
  
  Many landowners utilize TPWP projects for hunting leases and ecotourism. Many sites are also on rice farms, a declining agricultural entity along the Gulf Coast. By working with private landowners to increase and restore wetland habitats, water quality and water quantity an issue of great concern in Texas can be improved."

Among our first priorities was the Chiloé Archipelago, where we have worked with our partner, the Centro de Estudio y Conservación del Patrimonio Natural (CECPAN) on an integrated approach to wildlife conservation. In recent years our partnerships have expanded to include other local and regional NGOs as well as public-sector agencies such as the Chilean Ministry of Environment."

Colombia

• Audubon "Our Regenerative Agriculture strategy in Colombia aims to bring bird-friendly practices to 1 million hectares of productive land, providing habitat and connectivity across landscapes. By incorporating trees and shrubs on farms and reducing the use of chemicals, it is possible to protect wildlife, soil and water while improving productivity and profitability for farmers.
  
  Audubon Americas is implementing this strategy in Colombia through in-depth interventions in the Valle del Cauca region. ..."

• Pro Aves "works to protect its 27 Nature Reserves, conserving more than 65,000 hectares of key ecosystems for Colombia’s biodiversity, including alpine tundra ecosystems such as the páramo and subpáramo, mountain forests, tropical rainforests, tropical dry forests, and mangrove swamps."

• Rainforest Trust: Saving the Last Rainforest in Colombia's Magdalena Valley "The Magdalena Valley is larger than the state of Colorado yet has incredibly high endemism, providing vital habitat for many threatened species that live nowhere else on Earth." ... "After years of negotiations, Rainforest Trust and our local partner ProAves have secured the purchase rights to a strategic 1,178-acre property at $285 per acre. The new parcel is strategically located beside the most vulnerable flank of El Paujil Bird Reserve and would block road access for loggers."

Ecuador

  The new protected area will not only provide connectivity for wildlife, but also increase the security of the existing reserves and the local communities’ land from encroachment. This project is of national significance, because it would improve the ability to manage and patrol one of the most threatened habitats of Ecuador."
