The Hawk Mountain's mission is to conserve birds of prey worldwide by providing leadership in raptor conservation science and education, and by maintaining Hawk Mountain Sanctuary as a model observation, research and education facility.

Because half of the raptors that pass the Sanctuary winter south of the United States, Hawk Mountain has a specific conservation focus on Central and South America. The Sanctuary is currently working, including raising funds and offering technical assistance, with partners on raptor conservation projects in Mexico.

  The mission of HawkWatch International (HWI) is to conserve our environment through education, long-term monitoring, and scientific research on raptors as indicators of ecosystem health. We believe that through our efforts to monitor and protect birds of prey (also known as raptors), we can also protect our shared environment, our rich natural heritage, and ourselves. HWI was founded as a non-profit organization in 1986.  Link to Tour 2009:
