The MiBCI Mob, that is. MiBCI's birding team will be participating again in the Southwest Michigan Team Birdathon, and they need your pledge to help raise funds to support MiBCI's projects. Funds help to pay for MiBCI's statewide marshbird and nocturnal bird monitoring, MiBCI annual Ornithological Congress, and MiBCI's Birding Trails project. Pledging is painless and only takes a minute - just click on the link below. Even small donations make a difference so please help us out!

Make a Pledge

 

MiBCI is a coalition of agencies, organizations, universities, and individuals working together to better understand and conserve Michigan's birds. MiBCI’s primary purpose is to work together as a partnership to conserve, restore, and protect bird populations. While the individual missions and goals of members may be varied, all members recognize that they may be a powerful force for conservation if unified in working toward common objectives. Furthermore, open avenues of communication enable collaboration, a sense of community, and mutual respect in advancement of our shared vision.

The mission of the Michigan Bird Conservation Initiative is to identify conservation needs and promote active conservation, protection, and restoration of bird populations and their habitats in Michigan through ecologically and biologically based partnerships and actions conducted at multiple spatial scales.

MiBCI hosts an annual Ornithological Congress to share information on current research and ongoing conservation projects. MiBCI's standing subcommittees work together year round to advance progress on projects of mutual benefit. Everyone is welcome who has an interest in conserving Michigan's birds; joining MiBCI is as simple as signing the MOA (Memorandum of Agreement). And everyone can feel free to use this web site to learn about news in the bird conservation community and to share information about the work they're doing.
