Southeast Partners in Flight

SE Partners in Flight has a goal to increase participation of Caribbean nations in regional PIF efforts. To accomplish this, southeastern states are developing partnerships to exchange information and resources needed to focus on the improvement of survey and monitoring, research, management and education involving birds and their habitats. The power lies in the synergy that builds when diverse, committed groups who care about birds work together for a common goal. Optics for the Tropics, Inc. is one mechanism to grease the rails for states to begin participation with a partner. As funds are raised, binoculars will be distributed to research and education projects identified throughout the Caribbean.

American Birding Association Birders' Exchange

Birders' Exchange is a bird conservation program of the American Birding Association. Birders' Exchange collects used and new birding equipment and redistributes it, free of charge, to researchers, conservationists, and educators working to conserve birds and their habitats in the Neotropics. These donations help our Latin American partners to develop local conservation strategies and to educate local citizens about bird conservation and ecosystem-wide habitat protection. This effort is also part of our work in Partners in Flight, designed to address bird conservation needs across the Americas.

Gulf Coast Bird Observatory
