The regional office in Ticino was founded in 2016 with the aim of strengthening the presence of the Swiss Ornithological Institute in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland. It coordinates monitoring projects with volunteer ornithologists and promotes bird conservation issues in collaboration with partners. The regional office takes care of the information service and media inquiries in Italian. Other key topics are the ecological enhancement of cultivated land habitats and the specific promotion of selected species (Whinchat, Yellow Wagtail).
