PassionateOur organization was founded by S. Dillon Ripley, a man who had a deep and abiding enthusiasm for conservation. Today, our staff honors that enthusiasm and believes that conservation action is our calling. |
|
OUR GOAL
To mend what is broken and help to provide waterfowl with the best chance of survival. |
We partner with outside organizations to investigate species' needs, create awareness, and share our collection with those who are also working towards waterfowl conservation.
|
Through our in-school, online, and on-site programs, we give people a reason to be moved to protect our natural world. We partner with local organizations, to increase reach to children and adults and ensure that our message is heard by as many people as possible.
|
To minimize further loss of biodiversity, we breed rare and endangered birds in captivity, to ensure that the secrets that they hold are not lost to us forever.
