A global initiative of BirdLife International, implemented by Audubon and local partners in the United States, the Important Bird Areas Program (IBA) is an effort to identify and conserve areas that are vital to breeding, migrating, and wintering birds. Because of the vast, intact habitats in Alaska, there are more globally significant IBAs in this state than any other in the U.S.
Alaska holds the most globally-significant Important Bird Areas of any US state.
Bristol Bay is home to dozens of global Important Bird Areas and one of the world’s largest concentrations of seabird colonies.
Izembek is an important migration and breeding area for many species.
Home of the largest gathering of Bald Eagles in the world.
