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.

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/

Pollinators need a cultural ambassador. Are butterflies up for the task?
