Bird Conservation Materials
This report is based on the first-ever conservation vulnerability assessment for all 1,154 native bird species that occur in North America. The report provides the findings compiled by a team of experts for the three countries. Of these 1,154 species, 432 qualified for the Watch List, indicating species of highest conservation concern based on high vulnerability scores across multiple factors. Download PDF

The report explains that bird populations – and overall ecosystem health – are declining around the world. But there is good news: conservation works. The annual cost of protecting all nature would be surprisingly low. State of the World’s Birds outlines where and how that money should be spent. Download PDF

It summarizes the status of Canada’s bird populations for eight biomes, including the boreal forest, prairies, Arctic and oceans. The report is co-authored by Nature Canada and the North American Bird Conservation Initiative in Canada (NABCI-Canada). Download PDF
