A nonprofit organization committed to ecological research and conservation
ECOSTUDIES INSTITUTE
ECOSTUDIES INSTITUTE
WELCOME to Ecostudies Institute's home on the web.  
We are a nonprofit organization that addresses pressing problems in the conservation of plants, animals,
and their habitats.  We do so through a program of rigorous scientific research, on-the-ground
management, and education and outreach.  We work independently, and in partnership with other
dedicated conservation organizations and agencies.  In this effort, we often focus on birds because they
are exceptional indicators of overall environmental health and integrity and because they often respond
rapidly to environmental changes.
We are based in a small town on the Skagit River Delta just north of Seattle, Washington, with field offices
in south Florida and central Vermont.  Our conservation focus is broad, spanning local, regional and
international boundaries, and our experiences working and living in many environments enables us to bring
a fresh perspective to both new and old conservation issues.
In the pages that follow, you can learn more about what we do and who we are.  Enjoy your visit to our
new home on the web, and please
contact us with any questions or suggestions.
