Cooper leads the Conservation Science Program at Tracy Aviary, which contributes to bird conservation efforts by increasing knowledge about birds and their habitats. The Conservation Science Program supports conservation and field research projects in our home state of Utah, and in other places throughout North, South, and Central America. We provide a range of citizen science opportunities to allow a broad and diverse community of people to become involved in conservation work, and we focus our research efforts on identified local, national, and international bird conservation priorities.
