The Natural
Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has partnered with the
Cornell Lab of Ornithology to create this site
as a place for bird-lovers to share stories and information about
birds and to help protect birds from activities that harm them and
their habitat.
NRDC is an environmental action group that combines the grassroots
power of 1.3 million members and online activists with the
courtroom clout and policy expertise of lawyers, scientists and
other professionals to protect wildlife and wild places, and to
ensure a healthy environment for all life on earth.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is a nonprofit, member-supported
organization dedicated to the study and conservation of birds. The
Cornell Lab engages people of all ages and walks of life in
learning about birds as part of its mission to conserve the earth’s
biological diversity through research, education and citizen
science.
Together, the two organizations invite all bird enthusiasts to use
this space to meet each other and to learn more about birds and the
issues they face. Happy birding!
