Migratory Bird Joint Ventures are cooperative, regional partnerships that conserve
habitat for the benefit of birds, other wildlife, and people. Joint Ventures share
a vision of a North American landscape where people work together to help
birds thrive.
…cost-effective conservation – Over the course of our history, Joint Venture partnerships have leveraged every dollar of Congressional funds 34:1 to help conserve 22 million acres of essential habitat across
North America.
…a landscape-scale record of success – First established by the North
American Waterfowl Management plan in 1986, twenty-four Joint
Ventures in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico now address the needs of
all bird species.
…non-partisan solutions – Working together with over 5,700 partners,
Joint Ventures receive broad support from governments, non-profit
organizations, and private citizens.
…real jobs for real people – Providing jobs in habitat restoration,
engineering services, resource management, technology, and project
administration, Joint Venture projects create positive economic
impacts for states, counties, and local communities.
…adaptations for a changing climate – By conserving vital habitats,
Joint Venture projects help buffer communities from the effects of
severe weather events while providing corridors for the movement of
animals and plants.
…connections between people and nature – Joint Ventures support
efforts that safeguard the natural environment and connect people
with the outdoors.
Joint Venture partnerships make the most of financial and human resources
and carry out on-the-ground projects that would be difficult or impossible for
any single group to achieve on its own.
In these challenging times, Joint Ventures are more important than ever to ensure a sustainable future for wildlife and people.
