Argentine seabird group
Argentine Seabird Group currently has over 60 members, including researchers and students.
Aves Argentinas is the national organization that, composed of more than 3,000 members and with more than 100 years of life, protects wild birds and nature in Argentina.
The Australasian Seabird Group (ASG) was established in 1971, to promote seabird research and conservation in Australasia and the South Pacific. The ASG helps build capacity for seabird research and management through education and sharing field skills. Building capacity for seabird conservation in our region can include strengthening institutional capacities, transferring know-how and developing appropriate field skills.
BirdsCaribbean is a vibrant international network of members and partners committed to conserving Caribbean birds and their habitats in the insular Caribbean (including Bermuda, the Bahamas and all islands within the Caribbean basin).
BirdLife South Africa strives to conserve birds, their habitats and biodiversity through scientifically-based programmes, through supporting the sustainable and equitable use of natural resources and by encouraging people to enjoy and value nature.
The BirdLife Marine Programme is a global partnership of marine experts, dedicated to improving the conservation status of seabird populations. Our ethos is an evidence-based approach underpinned by science and actively informed and adapted through grass-roots conservation action. Indigenous and locally-led efforts result in meaningful conservation outcomes. We connect experts and experience to strengthen the capacity to engender long-term change.
Birds New Zealand is committed to the study of birds and their habitat use within New Zealand through encouraging members and organising projects and schemes. Activities are organised at both the national and regional level, with 19 regions providing a local network for members to engage in bird studies.
The Circumpolar Seabird Expert Group (CBird) promotes, facilitates, and coordinates conservation, management and research activities among circumpolar countries and improves communication between seabird scientists and managers inside and outside the Arctic.
Global Penguin Society

The Pacific Seabird Group (PSG) is a society of professional seabird researchers and managers dedicated to the study and conservation of seabirds. PSG was formed in 1972 out of a need for increased communication among academic and government seabird researchers.
Pacific rim conservation
Pacific Rim Conservation was founded in 2006 as we saw a need for research-based management on native species, particularly birds, throughout Hawaii and the Pacific. Island species, particularly those in Hawaii, are some of the most imperiled on earth and with so few individuals of some species, research was sorely needed to inform management actions.
Royal Naval Birdwatching Society
Established in 1946, The Royal Naval Birdwatching Society fosters knowledge, understanding and appreciation of seabirds through a network of members and the conduct of scientific survey and database management. The society also supports conservation and research initiatives in this field. We are open to all who have a genuine interest in seabirds and landbirds at sea.
The Dutch Seabird Group (NZG)
The Dutch Seabird Group (NZG) stimulates seabird research by bundling knowledge and strength by interested parties and professionals. The NZG is a section of the Dutch Ornithological Union (NOU).
The Peruvian Association for the Conservation of Nature
The Peruvian Association for the Conservation of Nature (APECO) is a non-profit civil association that since its founding in 1982 has promoted awareness of issues such as biodiversity conservation and sustainable development in Peru.

The Seabird Group, a registered charity, was founded in 1966 to promote and help coordinate the study and conservation of seabirds. It maintains close links with other national and international ornithological bodies. The Group organises regular international conferences and provides small grants towards research and survey projects. It was part of the SEABIRD 2000 partnership, a major initiative to census all the seabirds breeding in Britain and Ireland between 1998 and 2002.
The Waterbird Society
The Waterbird Society is composed of biologists, researchers, conservationists, students, and others interested in the behavior, ecology, and conservation of waterbirds. The organization is administered by four officers and nine council members elected from the Society’s membership, which includes people from 31 countries.
