Bird Organizations
There are literally thousands of Birding Organizations around the world! Some organizations cater to local birders -- in every corner of the globe. Other organizations draw together scientists working on taxonomic issues. Many global organizations work to preserve the habitat needed for the birds' survival. In many cases, an organization's members are actively involved in all three -- birding, scientific research and conservation!
We would like to make it easy for Birders from all over the world to find YOUR organization! Please send us an e-mail and tell us in which section your organization belongs. Please include you organization's official web site address.
