The Nature Conservancy's Migratory Bird Program
Nearly half the world’s 10,000 bird species depend on the forests, wetlands and grasslands of the Americas — from Canada to Argentina. But habitat loss is threatening their ability to survive.
Bird conservation means protecting the places where birds nest and raise their young, spend their winters, and rest and rejuvenate during migration. The health of bird populations also reflects the health of our ecosystems. The mission of The Nature Conservancy’s Migratory Bird Program is to protect critical habitats for birds of conservation concern throughout the Western Hemisphere.  |
