ABOUT

Aves Uruguay is the leading organization for the study and conservation of birds in Uruguay, and part of the Birds of the World alliance of partners. Aves Uruguay is a non-governmental organization founded in 1987, with the mission to conserve the wild birds of Uruguay and the environments they inhabit, and to promote sustainable development policies in the use of natural resources. As a member institution, Aves Uruguay engages people in various activities, such as birdwatching, citizen science, research, education, and advocacy.

Aves Uruguay is a BirdLife International partner. Their staff is multidisciplinary, with biologists, engineers, communicators, educators, and individuals with extensive experience in bird observation and research on its staff. Aves Uruguay was created upon the initiative of Prof. Raúl Vaz Ferreira and several ornithologists in 1987 under the name Grupo Uruguayo para el Estudio y Conservación de las Aves (GUPECA), with the aim of bringing together individuals involved in ornithology, including researchers, educators, biology students, as well as bird enthusiasts. Later, the institution changed its name to Aves Uruguay.
