Conserving Raptors and Our Shared Environment

Our ecosystems are in crisis. Since 1986, HawkWatch International (HWI) has been finding solutions by studying raptors on the ground and creating informed communities by engaging them with the natural world.

HawkWatch International scientists lead essential research on raptors on migration, while scavenging for resources in the winter, or during nesting season. This informs our own conservation actions and allows us to partner with government officials, land owners, and other stakeholders to develop innovative approaches to protect raptors and our shared environment.

HWI also offers our expertise as professional services to agencies, industry, and the general public seeking raptor and avian expertise. If you are interested in our services, click the link below.
