Rockjumper Birding Tours offers professionally guided expeditions for nature lovers and bird watchers all over the world. Passionate and experienced tour leaders offer over 300 tours each year that lead to the world’s prime birding areas. Rockjumper Birding Tours provides the ultimate birding experience by ensuring that the tours are seamlessly organized, fun, educational, and support conservation initiatives.

Birdability’s mission is to introduce people with disabilities and other health problems to the birding experience. ZEISS has been one of this organization’s partners since 2021, providing financial support as well as a variety of optical devices.

eBird is a project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and a powerful online database that collects real-time data on the distribution and frequency of birds around the world. eBird thus provides a basis for a wide range of scientific questions and plays an increasingly important role in research, conservation and education. By supporting eBird and associated activities, we incentivize the participation in this citizen science project.

ZEISS has been supporting the NABU Nature Conservation Center near Lake Federsee for more than 20 years, including a permanent loan of binoculars that are used by the volunteers as well as visitors.

Since 1907 the nature conservation association Jordsand has been committed to protecting seabirds and their habitats at the German north sea and Baltic coast by combining nature conservation with exciting nature experiences and profound research for seabird protection. As a non-profit nature conservation association it oversees 20 protected areas in northern Germany. The Jordsand association enhances coastal biodiversity with broader conversation approaches including special protection projects for endangered species.
