About Us

An overview of the 约炮视频 and our conservation work.

We work to bend the bird curve.

For more than a century, the 约炮视频 has preserved bird habitats, conducted scientific research, influenced policymakers to enact commonsense conservation laws, and engaged communities across the hemisphere to protect the natural resources upon which birds鈥攁nd we鈥攄epend. By "bending the bird curve," we are working to halt, and ultimately reverse, the decline of birds across the Americas.

Our Mission

约炮视频 protects birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow. 

Across aisles. Across landscapes. Across borders. When it comes to our environment, birds are a uniting force. Birds cross borders, from neighborhoods to states and beyond, migrating tens of thousands of miles across multiple countries from one tip of the planet to the other. And so do we. 约炮视频's hemispheric approach recognizes that the majority of bird species in the Americas migrate annually between Canada, the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean. 约炮视频鈥檚 programs are like the birds鈥攗nencumbered by political boundaries and seamlessly integrated across the Western Hemisphere.

What we bring to the table.

Incorporated in 1905, the 约炮视频 is one of the oldest and most effective bird conservation organizations in the Western Hemisphere. 约炮视频 has more than 650 staff and a score of partner organizations working in 10 countries. 约炮视频 also has an extensive network of community and campus chapters working on behalf of birds and people in their local areas.

Birds are powerful unifiers鈥攖hey are not bound by politics or property lines, and they captivate people across the globe. Unified by a love of birds, together we are an unstoppable force for conservation.

The science both compels and empowers us to act globally, across the hemisphere, by illuminating the places birds need, from Chile to Canada. This insight enables us to focus our work more accurately and effectively than ever before, and to measure our impact on a population scale across the hemisphere to bend the bird curve.
