where 20+ years of bold action, focus on results, and partnership are bringing back the birds across the Western Hemisphere. Our mission is clear: to conserve native birds and their habitats across the Americas. In doing so, we benefit not only American birds but all other species as well.
Our fearless approach to conservation drives all that we do, and the results are measurable. We’ve made significant strides to safeguard rare birds, conserve important bird habitat, reduce top threats to birds, and build an Americas-wide community of bird conservationists.
Gulf Coast birds have seen a steady decline since the days John James Audubon fell in love with them. We're working to turn that around.
With fewer than 15 remaining, Stresemann’s Bristlefront is one of the world's most endangered species—and a priority for us.
Hawai'i is a wonderland of natural beauty. But no other place is home to more bird species on the brink of extinction.
After six years of testing, we present a comprehensive resource to help stop birds from hitting windows, for every situation and budget.
American Bird Conservancy added 3 new photos. We're so pleased to announce that we received the President's Award from Sustainable Forestry Initiative today. Our work with SFI is helping forest management companies identify priority habitats for bird conservation and develop improved management scenarios across millions of acres of bird habitat. http://www.sfiprogram.org/media-resources/news/american-bird-conservancy-wins-sfi-president-s-award-for-putting-sfi-s-scale-to-work-for-birds/

Partners are looking at how different forest management practices can bring back the bird's numbers. Partners include ABC, Sustainable Forestry Initiative, Klamath Bird Observatory and the National Council on Air and Stream Improvement.

Working with Moxeño native communities, our Bolivian partners Asociación Civil Armonía have saved some 6,000 macaws by promoting the use of alternative feathers for traditional headdresses used in ritual dances.

American Bird Conservancy added 2 new photos. Which bird would you choose to be the ambassador for birds as pollinators, a hummingbird or a honeycreeper? It's the Rufous Hummingbird versus the 'I'iwi (of Hawaii). Help us make the role of birds as pollinators better known! https://abcbirds.org/bird/rufous-hummingbird/ OR https://abcbirds.org/bird/iiwi/

Nice story about pollinators and threats to them, including the pesticides called neonics. But, we'd love to see a bird considered as an ambassador for pollinators! Do folks know that birds are pollinators too, and that they also suffer from use of neonics?
Some conservationists hope to use the monarch butterfly's signature charisma to rally public support for bees and other less-loved pollinators.
Pollinators need a cultural ambassador. Are butterflies up for the task?
