Urban Bird Treaty City of Albuquerque

Albuquerque, New Mexico is invited to become an Urban Bird Treaty city. The Urban Conservation Treaty for Migratory Birds (Urban Bird Treaty) is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and participating U.S. cities, bringing together private citizens, Federal, State, and municipal agencies, and non-governmental organizations to conserve native birds. Albuquerque with partners will work to conserve, restore and enhance habitat; reduce bird hazards; educate urban residents on the intrinsic, ecological, recreational, and economic value of birds and their habitats; promote outdoor bird-related experiences and environmental education; build natural resource career development opportunities when possible; develop and implement bird conservation projects; and provide matching dollars and in-kind support. The Service's challenge grant requests a one to one match and technical assistance.
