To promote
and support the study of wild
birds through ringing and other
marking schemes.
-
To develop
and support the scientific and
technical training in
ornithology and nature
conservation.
-
To contribute
to the validation and promotion
of ringing in its diverse forms.
-
To develop
networks between ringers,
encourage collaboration between
members and support them in
their efforts.
-
To
support scientific, technical
and cultural activities,
meetings and field activities

To promote
the exchange of information and
cooperation between national and
international organisations with
similar goals and values.
The Portuguese
Bird Ringers Association has
achieved important objectives
