The Eagle Conservation Alliance (ECA), a global partnership of experts working to conserve eagles, is the first international organization focused exclusively on eagle conservation. The mission of the ECA is to share and enhance resources and knowledge in order to cooperatively understand and conserve the world of eagles. The primary goals are to improve management for conservation of existing eagle populations; recover and, when appropriate, reintroduce eagles to nature; conduct research; provide global advice and technical support; develop and distribute information; integrate native communities into conservation efforts, fundraise for priority initiatives; and build capacity for training in science and eagle management. ...

This project proposes a multi-year, worldwide project to resolve foundational aspects of taxonomy and conservation for the world’s owls. Work under this project is focused on six tasks: develop scientifically robust inventory techniques for locating owls and their nests; analyze the molecular systematics and phylogeny of owls using basically mtDNA but also ncDNA; acquire high-quality recordings of owl vocalizations, to assist in species identification; conduct analysis of the morphological aspects on new owl taxa found, to assist in identification; refine maps of owl species distributions; distribute project information via internet pages, publications, and symposia to a very wide audience, including national and international biodiversity programs. ...

This private website provides a multiplicity of articles related to raptors (Falconiformes). The main focus is on results reared from research using satellite telemetry. At this technique a transmitter is fitted on the birds. Thus an individual examination of migratory behaviour is possible, for example. [Editorial staff vifabio]
The Global Raptor Information Network (“GRIN”) is designed to provide information on diurnal raptors (hawks, eagles, and falcons) and to facilitate communication between raptor researchers and organizations interested in the conservation of these species. This web site provides access to Reference Manager databases. Published databases can be searched using either Quick Search or the Advanced Search. You can also: a) view references, b) edit references, including add and delete, c) create bibliographies and d) export references. ... [Information of the supplier]
Database of Migratory Species at Global scale (4344 species, 5500 literature references, Internet-Links, data on distribution and migration behaviour, 1174 GIS-maps, Threat Analysis) - Migratory species are an important dynamic component of biodiversity. The conservation and protection of these species requires international cooperation. However, the level of knowledge we have is not sufficient and information is immensely scattered. Today we can only estimate the number of migratory species within a vast range of 5000 and 10000. GROMS consolidates and summarises all available information and the current states of knowledge into a relational database. It supports a Geographic Information system (GIS) interface and permits various search options for novice users and for experts. The GROMS database is structured to provide an additional tool for fact finding and decision-making by the CMS bodies and related regional Agreements as well as the Convention on Biological Diversity. To this effect, the database is designed to supply information on migratory species, their distribution map, population and bibliography. The current multilingual database contains 4,344 migratory vertebrates species, with their threat and protection status (International Red List), protection status (after CMS and CITES) as well as migration types and more than 5,500 literature citations. ...

The present database documents the indigenous and non-indigenous freshwater fishes and cyclostomes, crabs and mussels found in the Federal German Republic. The bases are the individual fish registries of the federal states and the German Red List, prepared by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation. Currently, for 98 endangered fish and cyclostome species countrywide, the Latin, German and English names, species descriptions, population development, lifestyle, and photos are documented together with their references. Some population data are available. In addition 8 crab species are described with their Latin and German names and species description, as well as 7 mussel species with their Latin and German names. The nomenclature is based on the international database FishBase (Kiel). ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
The German Oceanographic Museum in Stralsund is the largest museum of natural science in North Germany. It is located in an early Gothic monastery, an architectural gem. The wide-ranging, up-to-date exhibitions held here provide an accessible, vivid picture of the diversity of marine life as well as its use to and exploration by man. An additional core theme is the presentation of the history of fishery in the former East Germany (GDR). ... [Information of the supplier]
The Action Campaign for Endangered Species (AGA) is a worldwide NGO whose aim is to protect endangered wild animal species and their habitats from destruction. AGA grew from the “Save the Turtles Initiative”, launched in Germany in 1981, and was founded as an association in 1986. Since then, AGA has successfully initiated a broad palette of international activities. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
Es waren begeisterte Vogelbeobachter, die sich 1964 zusammenfanden, um ihr Wissen über die hessische Vogelwelt auszutauschen. Dramatische Bestandseinbrüche vieler Arten ließen sie nicht ruhen. 1972 gründeten sie einen Naturschutzverband mit starkem wissenschaftlichen Fundament, die HGON. Zum Wappenvogel wählten die Gründer den damals vom Aussterben bedrohten Graureiher. Sie setzten sich für ein Ende der Bejagung und den Schutz seiner Brutkolonien ein. Heute hat sich sein Bestand versechsfacht und der beeindruckende Vogel bevölkert wieder alle hessischen Landschaften. Begeisterung für die Natur, Kompetenz in der Sache und Beharrlichkeit in der Auseinandersetzung sind seitdem zu einem Markenzeichen für die Arbeit der HGON geworden. Die Natur braucht diese starke Stimme auch in Zukunft. ... [Information des Anbieters]
