About Hawks Aloft

Hawks Aloft, Inc, a 501-C-3 nonprofit organization based in Albuquerque, New Mexico was founded in 1994 by 12 like-minded individuals with expertise in a wide variety of professional fields. Our vision focuses on protecting indigenous wild birds and their habitats. Our goal was then, and continues to be to act with transparency and collaborate with others to build a network that conducts research on all species of birds and fosters future leaders by providing school-year long education programs free of charge to low income schools. In 2013, we incorporated raptor rescue into our mission in response to overwhelming requests for help with injured birds. Today, we run the New Mexico Raptor Rescue Hotline, a free statewide resource for people who have found an injured bird or have other concerns.

We are proud to partner with Holbrook Travel to be able to offer our members and others the opportunity to travel, see native wildlife in other lands, experience differing cultures, and learn from local conservationists about efforts in their countries. https://hawksaloft.org
