Mission
The Hummingbird Conservation Networks (HCNs) is the expanded non-profit organization built upon the Hummingbird Monitoring Network (HMN) foundation. Notably, HMN had focused its efforts on science-based monitoring and studying of hummingbird populations to obtain important information supporting the conservation of these magnificent creatures. However, to better realize our mission of "Maintaining hummingbird diversity and abundance throughout the Americas," we needed to integrate community-based conservation ideas into HMN's science-based beginning. We endeavor to offer services, resources, and opportunities to help communities across the hemisphere participate in and benefit from hummingbird conservation activities. Our vision is " Helping hummingbirds survive, reproduce, and thrive while human communities benefit economically, socially, and ecologically from their hummingbird conservation activities."
