The potential for coordinated planning and evaluation required for integrated bird conservation at the regional or continental scales will be enhanced by a common set of conservation units employed by all bird conservation initiatives. U.S. bird conservationists that met in Puebla and Memphis drafted a set of Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) by aggregating CEC level II, III, and IV ecoregions in combinations that reflect current understandings of species distribution, life history requirements, and conservation challenges. A total of 36 BCRs cover the North American continent. These regions were established cooperatively for all of the major bird conservation initiatives through the North American Bird Conservation...

"Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) are ecologically distinct regions in North America with similar bird communities, habitats, and resource management issues. They are based on the scale-flexible hierarchical framework of nested ecological units delineated by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC). These ecoregions encompass areas that are similar in their biotic (e.g., plant and wildlife) and abiotic (e.g., soils, drainage patterns, temperature, and annual precipitation) characteristics. BCRs may be partitioned into smaller ecological units when finer scale conservation planning, implementation, and evaluation are necessary. Conversely, BCRs may be aggregated to facilitate conservation partnerships...
