Geographic Breakouts

For years, bird conservation groups of every shape and color have been speaking of the need to work together to save birds in every corner of their range. Unfortunately, there has not been a master playbook that identifies priorities and organizes such “full life-cycle conservation” plans.

But the 5th Partners in Flight Conference and Conservation Workshop (PIF V) hopes to change that. Representatives of several dozen groups will attempt to develop a unified vision of bird conservation in the 21st Century. There will be an emphasis on migratory birds and new, innovative conservation methods. It’s anticipated that this process will produce a breakthrough set of “Conservation Business Plans,” covering no less than seven geographic areas in Latin America and the West Indies. These focal areas include the most important wintering areas for suites of Neotropical migrants of high conservation concern. The wintering areas in the Conservation Business Plans will be linked to areas in North American where specific wintering birds spend the rest of the year.

FOCAL AREAS: Gulf-Caribbean Slope of Mexico and Central, Chihuahuan Desert Grasslands, Central and South American Highlands, West Mexican Thornforest, Southern Cone Grasslands, West Indies, Mesoamerican Pine-Oak and Cloud Forests, Pacific Shorebirds, Black Rails and Yellow Rails
