| What is the mission of your organization? | |
| Conservation through raptor rehabilitation, education and research.
RAPTOR Inc. receives over 325 injured/orphaned birds of prey annually. Birds of prey are an important part of the environment, maintaining a balance with prey species. Since many birds of prey are hurt due to human interactions, we need to protect them. We are able to release over 50% of the birds which we receive for care. We present over 300 educational presentation annually. Our educational presentations teach people why raptors are important and inspire them to protect them. The research we do is published and what we learn can be applied to help with conservation. |
