This year marks the 40th Anniversary of the North American Migratory Bird Joint Ventures. Since 1986, Joint Ventures have shown how cooperative, science‑based conservation can benefit birds and the landscapes they depend on.

Partners celebrated four decades of innovation, strong partnerships, and a shared commitment to protecting habitat, birds, and people at the annual Association of Joint Venture Management Boards (AJVMB) Fly‑In, in February 2026.

The video produced for this event highlights the work of JVs and the power of collaboration behind it.
