The Institute for Bird Populations

The Institute for Bird Populations  is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation founded in 1989 to study the causes of bird population declines. IBP's first major initiative was the Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship (MAPS) program , a continent-wide collaborative network of bird banding stations. Other flagship programs include the Monitoreo de Sobrevivencia Invernal (MoSI) program to study the ecology of Neotropical migrant birds on their wintering grounds, and our regional science and conservation programs conducting avian research, population monitoring, and conservation work in several geographic regions using diverse methods from point counts to emerging wildlife tracking technologies. Our work has spread to other parts of the globe, including Canada, the Neotropics, and Pacific Islands, as well as to non-avian wildlife like insect pollinators. We collaborate locally, nationally, and globally with individuals, government agencies, and NGOs in diverse fields to assess the effects of land management actions, climate change, and other ecological stressors on bird populations, and prescribe practical solutions. We use cutting-edge science, and publish results in pee.
