Education and Resources
The NRN connects a community of educators, researchers, artists, and raptor enthusiasts across the Neotropics. On this page you will find educational guides, a searchable database to connect with raptor specialists, field interviews from our members, and community-contributed resources and artwork. If you are an NRN member with an environmental education resource, research material, or artwork you would like to share, we would love to feature it. Contact us to be included.

The Global Raptor Impact Network (GRIN), a resource of The Peregrine Fund, maintains a searchable database of raptor researchers from around the world. Researchers who agree to share information about their work can be found here, making it easier to identify potential collaborators, mentors, and specialists. You can search by country and species to find others working on the raptors and regions that matter to your work.
