What is a Joint Venture?

A joint venture is a self-directed partnership of agencies, organizations, corporations, tribes, or individuals that has formally accepted the responsibility of implementing national or international bird conservation plans within a specific geographic area or for a specific taxonomic group, and has received general acceptance in the bird conservation community for such responsibility.

What does a Joint Venture Do?

Working both collectively and independently, joint venture partners conduct activities in support of bird conservation goals cooperatively developed by the partnership. These activities include:

• biological planning, conservation design, and prioritization,
• project development and implementation,
• monitoring, evaluation, and applied research activities,
• communications and outreach, and
• fund-raising for projects and activities.
