American Bird Conservancy (ABC) is celebrating its 30th year anniversary with a behind-the-scenes look at some of our most inspiring conservation projects!

Travel to the lush forests of Sierra de Atoyac in Mexico, where communities are protecting habitat for one of the world's rarest hummingbirds, the Short-crested Coquette. Tag along as ABC studies and conserves vast stretches of grassland habitat along the magnificent Long-billed Curlew's migration path. And find out how restoring wetland and riparian habitats in Far West Texas is helping Yellow-billed Cuckoos and hundreds of other bird species.

Over the last 30 years, working with hundreds of partners, ABC has conserved millions of acres of habitat for birds across the Americas. More than 3,000 species have benefited from this important work — that's 70% of all bird species in the Western Hemisphere and 30% of bird species in the world! From the rarest species in the most remote areas to your beloved backyard favorites, ABC is working to ensure birds have the healthy habitats they need to survive and thrive.

Watch this webinar to share in our hope for the future of these birds and their habitats.
