Science
A strong scientific approach distinguishes RMBO from environmental organizations that focus on policy or political action. The expertise and knowledge of scientists at RMBO provide partners with the information necessary to make intelligent and informed decisions about bird conservation.
RMBO’s bird monitoring programs serve as early warning systems that can identify negative trends in populations, enabling interested citizens and land managers to rapidly intervene with conservation practices that support the long-term viability of species.
To complement our broad-scale population monitoring programs, focused research projects provide scientific insight into the effects of land-management actions, ecological processes, and habitat conditions on the health of bird populations. Such information is vital for understanding the factors underlying population trends and for directing conservation actions. In addition, RMBO research provides land managers with feedback regarding the impact of habitat management decisions on the suitability of habitat for birds.
