Selected IBAs have received a dedication package which contains a sign and certificate for the site to display to the public. The package also contained the complete site account for that IBA enabling the site managers to verify the information we have compiled. This feedback ensures that the materials we publish are as accurate as possible. Many of the IBAs have organized public dedication ceremonies to bring attention to their new IBA designation. One site even had a cake made in the design of the IBA sign shown above. The designation materials and public ceremonies are a simple but effective way of focusing greater attention on these sites and their value to bird conservation.

If your site has been designated a Globally Important Bird area and you would like additional designation materials, please email .
