Bird Conservation
By working to safeguard the natural environment--air, water, and land--EPA is an important partner in efforts to conserve
birds. Through activities such as wetlands protection, coastal management, protection of aquatic resources, regulation of
pesticides, and international leadership in environmental protection, EPA programs contribute to bird conservation. EPA
also participates in several public/private bird conservation partnerships to help strengthen the ties between these efforts
and EPA programs, and to contribute EPA's support and technical assistance to these bird conservation initiatives.
