Hawk Watch International |
|
| |
The mission of HawkWatch International (HWI) is to monitor and protect hawks, eagles, other birds of prey and their environments through research, education, and conservation. They believe that through their efforts to monitor and protect birds of prey (also known as raptors), they can also protect our shared environment, our rich natural heritage, and ourselves. HWI was founded as a non-profit, tax-exempt 501 (c)(3) organization in 1986.
Raptors are an essential part of healthy, functioning ecosystems. As regulators of natural systems, raptors are crucial to maintaining the stable, healthy, and diverse ecosystems upon which we all depend. And as sensitive and widespread predators at the apex of food chains, raptors are superior indicators of ecosystem health worldwide. Humans share these ecosystems with raptors and all other species--thus, whatever happens to the raptors will happen to us. Hence, HWI's mission of protecting raptors is very relevant to the human condition. HWI fulfills this mission through programs in research, education, and conservation. Through these programs, HWI promotes an ethic of ecological sustainability and conservation for this and generations to follow. |
