This is a feature layer provided by the National Audubon Society that depicts Important Bird Areas throughout the United States. In addition to Important Bird Area sites and locations are numerous related tables that contain information pertaining to each individual site such as species apparent at each site, species observation records, threats, landuse, ownership of the site location, habit and site description narratives that help to provide an all encompassing look at the Important Bird Areas of the United States. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>From the Arctic Slope in Alaska to the Mississippi Delta, and from the Northeast’s Long Island Sound to the wetlands of the Everglades, the power of Important Bird Areas (IBAs) cannot be overstated. Audubon is leading the way to protect these iconic places and the birds that depend on them, and mobilizing our network of Chapters to act as stewards.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>As the U.S. partner for BirdLife International, Audubon spearheads an ambitious effort to identify, monitor, and protect the most important places for birds. We also collaborate with 19 international partners to extend a web of protection throughout the Western Hemisphere. To date Audubon has identified 2,758 IBAs covering 417 million acres of public and private lands in the United States. Among them are high-priority Global IBAs—places like New York City’s Jamaica Bay, areas within Alaska’s Arctic Slope, and coastal bird sanctuaries in Texas. Birds depend on a diverse range of habitats, and the threats that confront them are equally varied.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Curious how you can help protect an IBA near you?
