Site Breakdown by Selection
Criteria IBAs were selected for any of four criteria 1.
The presence of significant population(s) of Endangered
or Threatened Species, 2. The presence of significant population(s)
of birds on the Partners in Flight (PIF) Watch List, 3.
The presence of significant population(s) of species with
restricted ranges, and 4. The presence of significant concentrations
of migratory birds. Some sites qualify as a Globally Important
Bird Area under more than one category, e.g. Everglades
National Park is an IBA because it contains significant
populations of colonial nesting waterbirds and the Endangered
Wood Stork. These sites were included in each category for
the purposes of the above chart.
