PIF is organized through regional and task-based working groups and operates locally
in conjunction with many state or provincial working groups. Together, these individuals
and groups focus their attention on nongame landbirds that have historically received
less attention than endangered species and
gamebirds. By identifying the most vulnerable species
and providing sound regional conservation plans,
PIF can empower land managers with the tools necessary to protect and improve habitat
for migratory birds. For more information about
PIF, visit their web site at

In response to growing concerns for the populations of
Neotropical migratory birds, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation launched
a program in 1990 called Partners in Flight (PIF). The purpose of PIF is to identify
declining populations of migratory birds and address
the conservation and management needs of species before they become threatened or
endangered. PIF is a cooperative partnership among
government agencies, professional organizations, conservation groups, philanthropic
foundations, industry, the academic community, and citizens.
