If you have a pair of binoculars you are no longer using, you can give them new life with a recipient in Mexico, where birding is a doorway to environmental awareness, and birding optics are too expensive for most people.<\/p><p>Fill out a <a href=\"https:\/\/pibo.ca\/en\/projects-outreach\/prismaticos#donate\">Donor Form<\/a> and bring your binocular donation to Springsong where you\u2019ll find a \u201cBins Bin\u201d\u2014or mail them to the address listed [link]. We\u2019ll send you a thank-you letter, and when donations are distributed in Mexico, we\u2019ll publish in the <a href=\"https:\/\/pibo.ca\/en\/newsletter\/\">PIBO newsletter<\/a>, <em>The Auspice<\/em>, regular accounts of where the optics have gone, who is using them, and how your generosity has helped further the cause of bird conservation and nature preservation in Mexico.
