About Us
The Ohio Bird Conservation Initiative is a collaboration of non-profit groups, businesses, state and federal government agencies, and citizens that are participating in or are interested in bird conservation for the state of Ohio. We have come together for one main purpose - to ensure the conservation and effective management of birds in Ohio.
Our goals
- Develop and coordinate initiatives for bird conservation.
- Develop broad-based partnerships to conserve birds and their habitats.
- Encourage landscape-oriented conservation efforts.
- Focus conservation efforts on common birds and species of conservation concern.
- Develop management strategies that are guided by sound science.
- Promote bird-based recreational opportunities.
- Communicate the value of birds and their conservation to the public, businesses, and governmental officials.
OBCI convened its first meeting in 2003 and we held our official signing ceremony on May 5, 2004. Since then, OBCI has met numerous times through committee and Coordinating Council meetings. To learn more about our history click here.
