Point Blue Conservation Science

Point Blue Conservation Science (Point Blue) is dedicated to conserving birds, other wildlife, and ecosystems through innovative scientific research, restoration, outreach and extensive partnerships. Our highest priority is to reduce the impacts of habitat alteration, climate change and other threats to wildlife and people, while promoting adaptation to the changes ahead.. Point Blue is a non-profit organization founded in 1965 as Point Reyes Bird Observatory. Point Blue is a leader in bird and ecosystem research, conservation management support, habitat restoration, conservation education, and conservation training. Point Blue primarily researches birds due to their role as excellent indicators of environmental health, but we also study other species and all of our work is in an applied ecosystem context. Point Blue is headquartered in Petaluma, California and maintains field research sites throughout California, other parts of Western North America, and Antarctica.
