Pacific Rim Conservation (PRC)'s  mission is to maintain and restore native bird diversity, populations, and ecosystems in Hawaii and the Pacific Region

They work together with local communities, government agencies, and other conservation organizations to achieve goals; they are a solidly ‘boots on the ground’ organization. They do this by creating ‘islands’ within islands where predators have either been removed and excluded through fencing or are controlled on a long term basis. They then work to restore the habitat in these areas, and in some cases, bring bird species back that are no longer found there through translocation and social attraction. Throughout all of their work, they actively conduct research to understand avian biology, and the ecosystem changes and benefits to inform future conservation actions. To date, they have published more than 110 peer-reviewed papers in high-profile scientific journals and have had their work featured in media outlets such as the New York Times, National Geographic and the BBC.

Pacific Rim Conservation was founded in 2006 as they saw a need for research-based management on native species, particularly birds, throughout Hawaii and the Pacific. Island species, particularly those in Hawaii, are some of the most imperiled on earth and with so few individuals of some species, research was sorely needed to inform management actions. For nine years they filled that niche operating as a small business and in June 2015, they converted from a business to a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in order to better reflect our goals and to ensure that as much of the funding as possible was used to achieve conservation projects.
