BECOME A PART OF THE LEGACY - JOIN US

Through our strategic approach to distribution combined with community engagement, the HAWKWATCH film will reach national and international audiences. The goal is to create awareness, inspiration, and celebration of individuals’ efforts as they create the building blocks to protect the migration. 

Here’s how we’ll do it:

• Local, state, national, and international Film Festival screenings to build awareness

• Social Media and press coverage

• Partnerships with organizations in the areas of conservation, academia, environment, education

• Ticketed virtual screening

• Educational and discussion materials to facilitate important conversations

• Grassroot outreaches to birding associations, conventions, and community centers

• Television broadcast on PBS

• Digital release on various multiple streaming platforms

The benefits are:

• Heightened awareness of raptors, Swainson Hawks, and all bird migrations

• Protection of habitat needed for migration

• Education for future generations to understand the mystery, awe, and importance of migration

• Recognition of Borrego Springs and the Sonoran Desert as a vital Swainson’s Hawk migration route

• Ensuring the ability of bird migration through this corridor for decades to come
