IBA Overview
Led by BirdLife International, the Important Bird Areas program is a global effort to identify, conserve, and monitor a network of sites that provide essential habitat for bird populations. Since its launch in Canada, the program has identified about 600 sites across the country, including 48 IBAs in Alberta (of which 36 are globally significant). To learn more about the program or individual sites, please visit the IBA Canada website. For details about the Alberta IBA program and Alberta sites please click here.
