• Michigan Bird Conservation InitiativeMiBCI is a cooperative partnership to deliver the full spectrum of bird conservation emphasizing voluntary stewardship. The focus of the MBCI is on Michigan birds, but coordination of conservation efforts will be required at the regional, continental, and even hemispheric levels, since most birds are migratory. In the Upper Midwest, a regional approach will be necessary to provide the appropriate types, amounts,
and distribution of habitats for conservation efforts to be successful.
