A little info on this organization - https://www.savehummingbirds.org/

For several years, the Hummingbird Monitoring Network (HMN) has focused its efforts on monitoring and studying hummingbird populations to obtain information crucial to the conservation of these magnificent creatures. Hummingbird Conservation Networks (HCNs) is the result of integrating community-based conservation ideas into HMN’s science-based beginning.

​HCNs’ mission, essentially unchanged from HMN’s original goal, is to aid hummingbirds in their survival, reproduction, and ability to thrive all while engaging human communities in these efforts, realizing how humans, too, can benefit economically, socially, and ecologically through their hummingbird conservation activities. Maintaining hummingbird diversity and abundance throughout the Americas remains a  primary focus of the organization.  

Hummingbirds are unique in their ability to reconnect people, instantly with awe, for nature. They are bearers of light and might be the messengers we need to restore viability to our world’s living systems.​
