Science
Birds are an indicator of environmental change and can serve as indicators for the health of our planet. They provide ecosystem services through natural pest removal, seed dispersal and pollination. Despite their importance, bird populations are imperiled. Bird Conservancy leads science informed conservation to protect and recover this vital component to our cultural and natural heritage. Bird Conservancy believes our world needs birds.
Science is the foundation to understanding and mitigating the threats facing bird populations.
Bird Conservancy of the Rockies conducts scientifically rigorous monitoring and research to inform, conserve and manage common species and recover species of conservation concern.
Data gathered by Bird Conservancy and partners are used to create tools, such as maps, manuals and web-based applications like the Rocky Mountain Avian Data Center.
