A global initiative of BirdLife International, implemented by Audubon and local partners in the United States, the Important Bird Areas Program (IBA) is an effort to identify and conserve areas that are vital to birds and other biodiversity.
While a sobering designation, we hope it will spur all partners to work together with a sense of urgency to protect this species.
Audubon New Mexico is excited to announce the identification of two new Important Bird Areas (IBAs): the Corrales Bosque Preserve and the Lower Rio Grande Bosques!
The Rio Grande Gorge, one of Audubon’s Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in New Mexico, is now part of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument.
Join WRAN to receive action alerts about water issues, as well as issues that are affecting birds across the arid West.
