WSO promotes birding conservation by:

monitoring local, state, and national conservation issues involving birds and keeping the membership informed of significant issues.

• serving as an ornithological resource center in supplying scientific information on bird issues and when appropriate, testify and publicize an official position.

• endorsing the Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative.

• strongly supporting the goals of the Teaming with Wildlife program to increase conservation funding programs in Wisconsin and across the United States.

• supporting wetland habitat protection by offering Duck Stamps for sale.

• supporting programs regarding Birds and Cats.

• formally adopting a birder's Code of Ethics designed to protect wildlife, the natural environment and the rights of others.

• maintaining WSO-owned Lands.
