The Institute for Bird Populations is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservation science organization founded in 1989 to study the causes of bird declines. IBP’s first major initiative was the Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship (MAPS) program, a continent-wide collaborative network of bird monitoring stations. Other flagship programs include the Monitoreo de Sobrevivencia Invernal (MoSI) program to study the ecology of Neotropical migratory birds on their non-breeding grounds, and our regional science and conservation programs.
They work in many parts of the globe, including the Neotropics and Pacific Islands, studying birds and other wildlife.
They collaborate with government agencies and NGOs in a variety of fields to assess the effects of land management actions, fire, and other ecological stressors on bird populations, and to prescribe practical solutions. They place a high emphasis on publishing our results in peer-reviewed journals.
Their primary goals are to:
- Conduct top-tier scientific research that answers pressing ecological and land management questions that support effective conservation of birds and other wildlife.
- Monitor the health of bird populations across their full annual cycle, yielding large data sets that are resources for conservation scientists worldwide.
- Help train the next generation of avian conservationists.
The Institute for Bird Populations is a member organization of the North American Bird Conservation Initiative (NABCI).
