The State of the Birds report reveals troubling declines of bird populations during
the past 40 years.
Providing national and international leadership in the conservation and management of migratory birds by promoting, among the Service and its partners, science-based management of both populations and habitat on and off Service lands in support of national and international bird plans and initiatives. Additionally, the Division of Migratory Birds will provide support to eco-regional conservation initiatives for other wildlife species in those instance where support and cooperation will advance the goal of migratory bird conservation (e.g. the Black Bear Conservation Initiative).
