The AOS standing Conservation Committee has long been a prominent voice for the preservation of habitat for birds, especially preservation of critical areas such as stopovers used during migration, and wintering or breeding grounds, and also for the protection of bird species in crisis.
AOS supports the work of the American Bird Conservancy and is a member of the Bird Conservation Alliance. Their web site addresses are: http://www.abcbirds.org/ and https://abcbirds.org/get-involved/bird-conservation-alliance/.
