1. To support recognized aviculturists who are endeavouring to breed rare and endangered avian species to ensure their future preservation.
2. To establish a Canadian breeding centre for rare and endangered avian species.
3. To establish a monitoring body for captive avian stocks in Canada through the use of surveys and computer software.
4. To create and maintain a breeding program throughout Canada for avian species currently listed as endangered and build up a captive blood stock in order to breed populations of these birds to be reintroduced to their natural habitat. Where it is obviously impractical or impossible to reintroduce birds into the wild due to ever shrinking habitat, the A.P.F. will fund sanctuaries such as zoos and bird parks where rare birds can live in a near natural setting and create more public awareness of the continuing dilemma of endangered species.
5. To create a captive preservation program for rare and endangered species within zoo, bird parks and sanctuaries where reintroduction into the natural habitat is not possible or practical.
