Earth Day Fundraising
Hello Finch Fans,
We raised funds to go towards purchasing more radio tags (i.e, nanotags) for the Evening Grosbeak Road to Recovery project, a student Evening Grosbeak project, and other projects like helping the Maui Forest Recovery Project protect the last remaining endemic finches of Hawaii.
We are continuing to fundraise, and If you’re so kind to donate to these projects, please donate here: https://finchnetwork.org/donate
There are only 17 species of finches (aka honeycreepers) in Hawaii left (once upon a time there were 50+), and The Evening Grosbeak has experienced a 92% decline in the last 50 years. To read more about the Evening Grosbeak Project see here: https://finchnetwork.org/pro…/the-evening-grosbeak-project
The Evening Grosbeak Road to Recovery Project is a collaboration of the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy’s Natural Heritage Program (PNHP), the Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s Powdermill Avian Research Center and The Finchmasters – Finch Research Network.
FiRN is committed to researching and protecting crossbills, other finches, and threatened finch species like the finches of Hawaii and the Evening Grosbeak.
Thank you so much for your love of finches and we look forward to your support as we continue to grow the Finch Research Network!
Warm Regards,
Matthew A. Young
