Conservation Initiatives and Plans

Bird conservation initiatives and plans have been developed for many bird groups at multiple scales. The Atlantic Coast Joint Venture is working on delivering habitat objectives consistent with these international, continental and regional plans. International and continental plans are followed by any regional step-down plans and working groups in the ACJV area.

Bird Conservation Regions

BCRs are regions that encompass landscapes having similar bird communities, habitats, and resource issues. They are the fundamental biological units through which NABCI will deliver landscape-scale bird conservation, including evaluation, planning, and in many instances, implementation.
