Program areas at HWI
Conservation and scientific research program includes various field projects, which study the migration, nesting, and wintering habits habitats, conditions, and development of raptors. Data is collected, analyzed, reported, published, and used by governmental agencies and others to further the understanding and conservation of raptors and their habitats.
The development & communications program provides ways for Hawkwatch International (hwi)'s community to connect with raptor conservation. The program creates a variety of digital and printed content to educate the public, including but not limited to infographics, blogs, reports, and presentations, as well as daily educational content posted on social media. The program also hosts field trips, lectures, and other events to foster a sense of community for those passionate about raptor conservation. Finally, the program raises critical unrestricted dollars for raptor conservation through most traditional methods, including opportunities that provide learning alongside the funding request, such as our hallmark adopt-a-hawk program and our newer raptor transmitter sponsorship program.
Education program consists primarily of school presentations, field trips, seminars, and volunteers to promote the education about and conservation of raptors and their habitats.
