Australasian Raptor Association
http://www.ausraptor.org.au/
The Australasian Raptor Association was established in 1979 to promote the study, conservation and management of diurnal and nocturnal birds of prey (raptors) throughout Australasia.
The region extends east and south-east from Wallace's Line, and from the south-eastern portion of Asia, and encompasses approximately the south-western quadrant of the Pacific. It includes Australia, New Zealand and the islands of the South West Pacific.
We are a specialist group of Birds Australia, and have a close association with a number of government departments and research institutions throughout the region.
