Conservation of wild bird habitat is critically important. Many national and International organizations are helping with this vital goal.

You can help too. These organizations need your support to carry on their goals.

At the local level, you can work with your local Audubon Chapter to make sure local planning commissioners are following existing conservation laws when approving new construction.

Another way that you can help preserve a disappearing but valuable natural resource -- wetlands, is by buying Federal Duck Stamps at your local post office. Money from sales of these stamps is used to protect wetlands.

Here are the major Conservation Organizations concerned with preserving bird habitat:

Partners In Flight
The central premise of Partners In Flight has been that the resources of public and private organizations in North and South America must be combined, coordinated, and increased in order to achieve success in conserving bird populations in this hemisphere.

Partners In Flight is a cooperative effort involving partnerships among federal, state and local government agencies, philanthropic foundations, professional organizations, conservation groups, industry, the academic community, and private individuals. Currently partners include 16 federal agencies, 40 non-government organizations, over 60 state and provincial fish and wildlife agencies, numerous universities, and the forest industry, and the list is growing daily

American Bird Conservancy
American Bird Conservancy is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit dedicated to the conservation of wild birds and their habitats in the Americas. The fundamental role of ABC is to build coalitions of conservation groups, scientists, and members of the public, to tackle key bird priorities using the best resources available. ABC is a leader in Partners In Flight.

National Audubon Society
The mission of the National Audubon Society is to conserve and restore natural ecosystems, focusing on birds and other wildlife for the benefit of humanity and the earth's biological diversity. There are 100 Audubon Sanctuaries and Nature Centers in the US. Membership exceeds 500,000.

Nature Conservancy
The mission of The Nature Conservancy is to preserve plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. 
The 1-million-plus members have helped the Nature Conservancy protect more than 11 million acres of habitat in the United States and nearly 60 million acres in Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific. They currently manage 1,340 preserves, the largest system of private nature sanctuaries in the world.

 

World Wildlife Fund
Known worldwide by its panda logo, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is dedicated to protecting the world's wildlife and wildlands. The largest privately supported international conservation organization in the world, WWF directs its conservation efforts toward three global goals: protecting endangered spaces, saving endangered species, and addressing global threats.
