Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs)
Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs) are designated sites recognized globally for their significance to the conservation of bird populations and overall biodiversity. These areas are identified based on criteria such as hosting rare or threatened species, supporting large numbers of birds during breeding or migration, or containing important habitats. IBAs help prioritize conservation efforts, ensuring that vital habitats are protected for the health of bird species and other wildlife. By focusing on these key sites, IBAs play a crucial role in safeguarding biodiversity and promoting sustainable environmental management.
