Urban Bird Treaty City of Albuquerque

Fish and Wildlife Service

Description

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.
