Education

About our Programs

The focus of our education program is to give students or individuals an appreciation for wildlife and an awareness of the hazards that all wildlife face due to factors such as habitat loss, pollution, cat predation, and man-made obstacles. Education in the classroom is important. Many children today know very little about the wild animals that live in their area and are unaware of the tremendous impact we all have on the prospects for their continued survival. One of the unique aspects of our education program is that we will tailor a program to your school or group’s needs. In addition to the presentation of live education birds, the following topics may be incorporated into the program:

A falcon perched against a clear New Mexico sky
Natural Resources and Conservation
Animal Adaptations
How to help New Mexico’s environment
Threatened and Endangered Species
Importance and Benefits of Raptors
Hazards and Human Impact
Migration and Food Web
What the public can do to decrease the number of injuries and deaths to wildlife
