Ornithology is the scientific discipline that explores all aspects of avian biology in birds, ranging from ecosystems to molecules. It links basic and applied research and nurtures education and outreach activities. The IOU has the objective of supporting, promoting, and advancing avian biology by disseminating ornithological knowledge to the scientific community and the public; interacting with other scientific organizations, foundations, and institutions that share similar interests and goals; stimulating and strengthening locally-based research that includes the participation of amateur ornithologists who contribute valuable data and insights; cultivating collegiate, collaborative, and mutually supportive relationships among ornithologists internationally, without restrictions imposed by cultural or political differences that may hinder scientific progress; fostering knowledge transfer between basic research and applied sciences, such as conservation, that can benefit from the findings and recommendations of ornithology.
