Conservation Program.

To be more focused on the conservation program, the organization chooses priority sites (Important Birds Areas). Each priority site has a group of people concentrating to conserve the site. The organization conducts base line surveys and monitors populations, distribution, habitat and threats for important bird species as a tool to define priorities for action. It also conducts awareness activities for the public on the importance of conserving birds and their habitat, develops multi stakeholders approaches including establishing “Site Support Groups”, and provides support to the government for improved planning and management of conservation areas.
Knowledge Center. Burung Indonesias’s Knowledge Center collects and analyses information, and facilitates exchange of experience and knowledge within and outside the organization. The objective is to provide data and information that are used to define the direction, priorities and development of Burung Indonesia’s conservation work, also develop innovative conservation approaches which have the potential to increase Burung Indonesia’s contribution to conservation in Indonesia in the future.
Communication & Business Development. Burung Indonesia works to inform and involve the public through all its activities. The organization created a way for the public to learn about and support the organisation’s work through Sahabat Burung Indonesia (SBI, which translates in English as "Friends of the Indonesian Birds"). As the supporters of Burung Indonesia, SBI plays an important role in providing input for the organisation, and SBI individuals help Burung Indonesia to carry out conservation in areas of Indonesia where the organisation does not yet work.

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or programs:
“It is indeed very possible, that the Persons we laugh at may in the main of their Characters be much wiser Men than our selves; but if they would have us laugh at them, they must fall short of us in those Respects which stir up this Passion.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
