Our Friends in Ecology: Organizations Protecting Wildlife with AutomaticTrap

Across North America and beyond, conservation groups, wildlife rehabilitators, and ethical wildlife control professionals are working to protect birds of prey and other native species. Many of these organizations share our commitment to toxin-free rodent control, using Goodnature® technology as part of their broader ecological work.

Below are some of our friends in ecology—nonprofits and partners who are helping create a safer world for wildlife by choosing humane, science-based, and poison-free approaches.

A Place Called Hope

A Place Called Hope is a volunteer-based nonprofit raptor rehabilitation and education center in Killingworth, Connecticut. They focus on caring for native birds of prey that are injured, orphaned, or sick, with the aim of returning them to the wild whenever possible.

American Bird Conservancy

American Bird Conservancy is a nonprofit dedicated to conserving birds and their habitats throughout the Americas. Working with partners, they tackle major threats—such as habitat loss, collisions, and toxic rodenticides—by using cutting-edge science to protect species, safeguard key landscapes, and build conservation capacity.

American Eagle Foundation

The American Eagle Foundation combines education, conservation, and rehabilitation to protect bald eagles and other birds of prey. Through public outreach and hands-on work, they encourage communities to safeguard raptor habitats and reduce preventable threats, including poison-based rodent control.

The Raptor Institute

The Raptor Institute promotes raptor conservation across Southern California through immersive educational programs. By connecting people with live birds of prey and sharing practical conservation strategies—including toxin-free rodent control—they help build communities that actively protect these top predators.
