ABC's International Programs
Bird conservation in any one country cannot
work in isolation. Neighboring countries and those separated
by thousands of miles are intrinsically linked through bird
migration, as well as shared environmental elements such as
climate, and geographical features such as rivers and mountain
ranges. Even in the case of isolated endemic or range-restricted
birds, seemingly unique conservation problems often have common
solutions if only these can be shared.
Since 1995, ABC's International Program
has built a strong partnership network
among North American, Latin American, and Caribbean organizations.
By working in tandem with local, in-country organizations,
ABC ensures the most efficient and effective bird conservation
action. Today, ABC is the only US-based group with a major
focus on the conservation of threatened resident and migratory
birds in Latin America and the Caribbean .
ABC has one of the most cost-efficient
international programs of any conservation organization. ABC
manages over 50 projects across Latin America and the Caribbean,
with the maximum possible proportion of funds raised going
directly to on-the-ground conservation efforts.
You can help to support ABC’s outstanding
international conservation efforts by joining
ABC or directly supporting
our projects.
Visit a Reserve!
ABC and our partners have created reserves to protect some
of the rarest bird species in the world. At some of these
sites, we have built ecolodges so that visitors can see these
birds and their spectacular environments. Take a trip, enjoy
the accommodations and scenery, and help some of the world’s
imperiled bird species along the way!
