PRBO Conservation Science
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PRBO Conservation Science, founded as the Point Reyes Bird Observatory, is a California based wildlife conservation and research non-profit organization. PRBO was founded in 1965 to study the birds migrating along the Pacific flyway, and has run the longest population study of landbirds (continuous since 1966), as well as maintaining a research presence on the Farallon Islands since 1969.
PRBO employs 55 biologists as well as 85 seasonal biologists, and is predominantly focused on scientific research, publishing over 1000 scientific papers, and using the science generated to advise policy makers and other conservation organisations. Most of the research is conducted in the western United States, but it can reach as far Japan, Alaska and Antarctica.
