You can learn more about our Center for Engagement in Science and Nature, its programs and projects, and our bilingual website team (below). The mission of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology is“To interpret and conserve the earth’s biological diversity through research, education, and participatory science focused on birds.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n We inspire and support people of all ages and backgrounds to connect with birds, participate in science, and become advocates for life on Earth. Through education and the collective power of participatory science, we encourage people to love birds and nature, and support conservation actions in diverse communities for a sustainable planet for all. Visit the Center for Engagement in Science and Nature<\/a>. Everyone is welcome!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n More than 200,000 learners have benefited from Bird Academy\u2019s self-paced, practice-based online courses. Whether you\u2019re looking to learn ID tips and skills, bird biology, or simply want to enrich your appreciation of nature, there\u2019s a course for bird enthusiasts of all levels.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li> We co-create community science projects with communities that have been historically underrepresented in birdwatching and science. Based on equity, these projects center on local culture, leadership, and wisdom.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li> Join us for a 4-day count in February to watch, celebrate, and count birds. By participating in this participatory science project, you help us to create a real-time snapshot of bird populations from around the world. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li> Our educational materials and professional development opportunities empower educators to engage youth in scientific investigations and projects, igniting a lifelong passion for nature.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li> Learn how to find and monitor bird nests, plus record data on species, eggs, and young. Your observations help scientists understand how climate change, urbanization, and land-use affect breeding birds all over the world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li> Join our fun participatory science project and help us transcribe more than 300,000 historic nest record cards submitted to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Your dedication will help us understand the incredible lives of nesting birds. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li> This project, based on equity and co-created by leaders of communities underrepresented in the sciences, studies the impact of noise pollution on humans and birds. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li>
