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.

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 here to pledge your organizations support for this important legislation.
