Partnerships across the Joint Venture
Partnerships are the primary mechanism via which the Joint Venture is able to fulfill our mission of bird habitat conservation. These partnerships provide the expertise, leadership, and creativity to translate research, monitoring, and planning on JV priorities into targeted habitat implementation. Existing partnerships within the JV region range from addressing specific habitat needs of imperiled bird species to landscape-level habitat programs benefitting groups of species. Listed below are some of the existing partnerships that are actively playing a role within the JV.
