Nebraska Bird Partnership

By building a statewide partnership among diverse organizations and agencies with some interest in bird conservation, we:

• Focus planning efforts to reflect needs, priorities, and opportunities within Nebraska
• Generate synergy among conservation efforts at the local level so that they can achieve more and work on a larger scale than they could otherwise
• Attract funding to support local activities and initiatives, and better prepare participants for taking advantage of funding opportunities as they arise
• Provide a forum for partners to learn about each other's missions and capabilities, and thereby find common ground for working
• Serve as a clearinghouse for sharing tools, ideas, and lessons learned among local partnerships together
• Funnel project ideas, lessons learned, and technical expertise from bird conservation programs outside the state to local initiatives within Nebraska
• Create a more unified and stronger political voice for conserving birds in Nebraska
• Educate a broader public, including fellow professionals, about the needs and opportunities for bird conservation in the state
• Broaden the impact of bird conservation activities and garner wider public support through habitat-directed local partnerships
• Coordinate local initiatives with regional (e.g. joint venture) initiatives
• Share existing and gather new information
