Hummingbird Conservation Networks

For several years, the Hummingbird Monitoring Network (HMN) focused its efforts on monitoring and studying hummingbird populations to obtain important information that supports the conservation of these magnificent creatures. Hummingbird Conservation Networks (HCNs) results from integrating community-based conservation ideas into HMN's science-based beginning. HCNs' mission, virtually unchanged from HMN's original mission, is to help hummingbirds survive, reproduce, and thrive while engaging human communities to demonstrate how they can benefit economically, socially, and ecologically through their hummingbird conservation activities. Maintaining hummingbird diversity and abundance throughout the Americas is still a primary focus of the organization. 2020 Activities included HMN's coordinated trend monitoring at sites across the western US and Canada, increasing restoration capacity in Mexico, and developing HCNs programs.

The Hummingbird Conservation Networks (HCNs) is the expanded non-profit organization built upon the Hummingbird Monitoring Network (HMN) foundation. Notably, HMN had focused its efforts on science-based monitoring and studying of hummingbird populations to obtain important information supporting the conservation of these magnificent creatures. However, to better realize our mission of "Maintaining hummingbird diversity and abundance throughout the Americas," we needed to integrate community-based conservation ideas into HMN's science-based beginning. We endeavor to offer services, resources, and opportunities to help communities across the hemisphere participate in and benefit from hummingbird conservation activities. Our vision is " Helping hummingbirds survive, reproduce, and thrive while human communities benefit economically, socially, and ecologically from their hummingbird conservation activities."
