  The High Arctic Institute (HAI) is a non-profit conservation and research organization that focuses on the study and conservation of birds in Greenland.
Founded in 2007, the High Arctic Institute is continuing research on Peregrine Falcon and Gyrfalcon populations in Greenland that was initially begun in 1972 by the Greenland Peregrine Falcon Survey, and later taken over by The Peregrine Fund.  The HAI has expanded the scope of work to also include monitoring populations of seabirds, waterfowl, and other bird species in northwest Greenland.  Current research focuses on the likely effects of climate change on these species and their response, including changes in nesting chronology, breeding ranges, and density.
