Students, other scientists and the public are the aim public of these sites. Many are focused on protected ecosystems. Data from 157 field stations in 56 countries show that their presence improved habitat quality and reduced hunting rates and spatial analyses support field station presence as reducing deforestation

Many stations in the Americas are coordinated (but not owned, controlled or funded by) the Organization of Biological Field Stations.
