Imagine you wake up one day and are told to look after the last 91 kakapo in the world! What would you do?

Well, that is the challenge facing the Kakapo Recovery Programme every day. It sounds daunting, but it is all about doing some fairly simple things over and over again, and doing them well.

We manage the birds to ensure they are healthy and ready for breeding.

We research new ideas that might help ensure a future for the kakapo.

We develop new technology that helps us in our daily work.

The Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group (SCPBRG) is a member of the University of California, Santa Cruz's Institute of Marine Sciences. Our organization's work has been, and continues to be, entirely supported by foundation grants, gifts from individuals, and contracts awarded by state and federal agencies. Organization founders, the late UCSC professor emeritus Ken Norris, and Santa Cruz veterinarian Jim Roush, formed the SCPBRG  three decades ago in response to declining populations of peregrine falcons and other birds.

The mission of the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory is to study migrating birds of prey along the Pacific coast and to promote public awareness of the state of raptor populations. The GGRO is dedicated to the conservation of raptors and to community involvement in wildlife research. Our studies of the movements of hawks through the Golden Gate National Recreation Area demonstrate that biological boundaries extend far beyond political boundaries. The GGRO is a project of the Golden Gate National Parks Association and the National Park Service, and is made up of 250+ community volunteers and a small staff.
