British Trust for Ornithology

Acronym: BTO

Description

The BTO collects, analyses, interprets and delivers the scientific information that underpins conservation action, halting declines and restoring populations of birds and other wildlife. It does this through its highly effective partnership of volunteers and paid professionals. Being independent and non-campaigning means our work is highly respected and widely used.
