Shorebird populations are declining around the world. These birds—and the coastal communities that rely on the same ecosystems—face growing threats from habitat loss, climate change, and development.
Shorebird conservation is an opportunity to protect biodiversity, support local and Indigenous communities, and restore coastal ecosystems. With our partners, who bring deep expertise and proven strategies, we explored where conservation efforts can have the greatest impact.
Together with our partners and Hovland Consulting, we developed a set of tools to help conservation leaders and funders prioritize action, especially along the Pacific Flyway, a critical migratory route for shorebirds in the Americas.
