Protecting birds is protecting life
Birds know no borders, and neither does our commitment to conservation. 9 countries, 189 protected areas and one shared purpose: protecting life
We are a hemispheric initiative that protects territories of life for birds and biodiversity across Latin America.
Together with Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendant communities, local organizations, NGOs, and strategic allies, we create, expand, and strengthen subnational protected areas in the places where conservation is most urgent.
