As
a BirdLife International Partner, the Society coordinates the Important
Bird Areas (IBAs) programme in Kenya. This involves national and local
conservation advocacy and action for Kenya's 60 IBAs - sites of global
importance for biodiversity conservation. IBAs
are places that are globally significant for bird conservation. Sites
may be listed as IBAs because they shelter:
- Globally
threatened bird species
- Restricted-range
birds that are found only in a very small area
- Many
bird species that live only in a particular vegetation type, or
biome
- Extremely
large congregations (numbers) of particular birds.

Aim
The function of the Important Bird Areas (IBA) programme is to identify
and protect a network of sites, at a biogeographic scale, critical
for the long-term viability of naturally occurring bird populations,
across the range of those bird species for which a sites-based approach
is appropriate. |
