Partners in Flight: Foundation for Bird Conservation Action

This FREE online webinar is brought to you in jointly by Denver Audubon and Denver Field Ornithologists.

The Avian Conservation Assessment Database is a core database for Partners in Flight bird conservation planning in the U.S. and Canada. The database contains data on vulnerability for over 1,600 North American bird species, including their conservation statuses. It also provides the source data for several conservation priority lists such as the Partners in Flight Watch List and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Birds of Conservation Concern. And it has supported the creation of numerous conservation plans and scientific publications, including a recent report about the loss of 3 billion birds in North America.

Arvind Panjabi, avian conservation scientist with Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, manages the Partners in Flight database. Along with federal and NGO partners in Mexico, Panjabi was instrumental in applying the conservation process to Mexican avifauna. In 2005, he launched Bird Conservancy’s international program to build a permanent bird conservation bridge throughout the Americas.
