The Bird
Conservation Alliance is a network of
organizations with a shared interest in the conservation of
wild birds. Through the Alliance, millions of birdwatchers
and concerned citizens are united with conservation professionals,
scientists, and educators to benefit bird conservation efforts.
The Alliance's goals are to work together to prevent further
bird extinctions, to reverse declines in bird populations,
and to assure the protection and management of sufficient
habitat to effectively conserve populations of the full range
of native, wild bird species for the future.
The Alliance serves as a forum for organizations to exchange
information and ideas regarding current issues in bird conservation,
assists its members in conducting collaborative advocacy,
and provides resources to assist its members in their bird
conservation work. Learn
more about how your organization can become part of the Alliance.
Act for Songbirds!
Support Reauthorization of the Neotropical
Migratory Bird Conservation Act
The
Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act (NMBCA) of 2000,
established a matching grants program that supports bird conservation
in the US, Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean. These
projects promote and foster the long- term conservation of
neotropical migratory birds and their habitats. However, each
year, grant requests far exceed the program's available funding.
NMBCA has a proven record of making a difference for neotropical
migratory birds, and the reauthorization and appropriated
funding should be significantly increased. H.R. 5756, introduced
by Reps Kind (D-WI) and Gilchrest (R- MD) will reauthorize
NMBCA at $20 million. Click

for this important legislation.
