This year, 2010, commemorates the 20th anniversary of Partners in Flight (PIF). Although PIF’s founders were enthusiastic and optimistic in 1990 about improved bird conservation, it is unlikely they could have anticipated that nongame birds would become thoroughly institutionalized into the conservation culture of the United States. PIF shares the theme of International Migratory Bird Day for 2010—“The Power of Partnerships.” Partnerships are as old as civilization itself, but there has been an exponential growth of in the number and variety of partnerships in recent years. PIF owes its continued success to literally countless partners. On Wednesday, March 24, at the 75th North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference, Special Session 3 will examine how partnerships have led the way in bird conservation during the 20-year history of PIF. It also will explore and explain and how these partnerships must quickly be made even more effective if the extraordinary threats facing bird populations of the next 20 years are to be met.
