Integrated Bird Conservation in the U.S.

Welcome to the official Web site of the
U.S. NABCI Committee.

The U.S. North American Bird Conservation Initiative (NABCI) Committee is a forum of government agencies, private organizations, and bird initiatives helping partners across the continent meet their common bird conservation objectives. Its strategy is to foster coordination and collaboration among the bird conservation community on key issues of concern.

Through annual workplans, the Committee focuses its efforts on advancing coordinated bird monitoring, conservation design, private land conservation, continentally important projects, and institutional support in state and federal agencies for integrated bird conservation.
