American Bird Conservancy relies on proven, scientifically backed strategies for achieving conservation results for birds throughout the Americas. We take on some of the greatest challenges facing birds, applying our expertise to solve complex problems and innovating new approaches to help build a better world for birds – and people. Our programs emphasize collaboration through partnerships like the Migratory Bird Joint Ventures, advancing research, sharing what we learn, and coming together to build the bird conservation movement.

Our organization was built on partnerships, recognizing that we can do more for birds by working together with groups across the Americas. We strive to build a vibrant bird conservation community, welcoming everyone who cares about birds.
Conserving migratory birds is a collaborative effort. For more than 25 years, ABC has worked closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and a wide range of partners to support several Migratory Bird Joint Ventures (JVs) — multi-organizational partnerships working at the regional level to deliver conservation results for biodiversity, wildlife, the habitats that they use, and people.
Every conservation action we take is aimed at the goal of getting results for birds. The habitat and the species may change, but the strategy that guides our work remains the same: We work to prevent extinctions, reverse bird population declines, reduce threats to all birds, and build the bird conservation movement. That’s because it’s a strategy that works.

The rufous-breasted Red Knot, once known as the "Robin Snipe," is a champion long-distance migrant, flying more than 9,000 miles from south to north every spring, then reversing the trip every autumn.
While the Waved Albatross spends plenty of time riding air currents over the waves, its name actually derives from the wave-like pattern on this bird's brown body plumage. Like all members of the albatross family, including the Laysan and Black-footed Albatrosses, this superlative glider spends most...
The Pine Warbler is an aptly named species, rarely seen away from its namesake trees, where it gleans rather sluggishly among the foliage and sings its dreamy-sounding song from the canopy.
