  • California Partners in Flight Bird Conservation Plans: Riparian Bird Conservation Plan
    The California Partners in Flight (CalPIF) program, made possible through funding from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and significant contributions of time and funding from many other CalPIF partners, has completed six habitat and bioregion based Bird Conservation Plans (BCP's) for Riparian, Oak Woodlands, Coastal Scrub and Chaparral, Grasslands, Coniferous Forests, and the Sierra Nevada Bioregion. Plans are in development for Shrubsteppe and Desert habitats. The CalPIF program is part of the international Partners in Flight Initiative.
