Swiss Ornithological Institute

The Swiss Ornithological Institute is a not for profit foundation supported by the public, and the largest private field research institute in Switzerland.  They are also an enquiry and counseling office for the public, media, and authorities.  They provide arguments for the conservation of birds and their habitats, as well as nature-friendly agriculture and forestry.
