Hummingbird Conversation Networks wants to ensure communities across the globe can participate and benefit from hummingbird conservation activities. To this end, we are developing resources, defining services, and creating opportunities that nurture science and community based networks. We are also exploring how to generate funds in a feedback system that supports our activities and these communities.
 
We are working with various partners in developing a sustainable model with mutually beneficial projects that help address critical conservation issues for hummingbirds and build revenue streams for funding community conservation projects. Such initiatives include: discovering and addressing conservation needs of threatened hummingbird species, restoring habitats to mitigate adverse effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on hummingbird diversity, improving floral resources to mitigate pollination disruption, and strengthening food sovereignty of crops pollinated by hummingbirds.
 
Our initiatives are defined according to three main elements: the natural world, the people living in it, and the economics of revenue streams to fund conservation activities and support communities. Thus, to achieve our commitments with hummingbird populations and people, we have developed five main courses of action that will guide our efforts: monitoring, research, restoration, outreach, and organization. Each of them works with interrelated programs that allow us to accomplish our mission.
