Welcome to DoD Partners in Flight
The international Partners in Flight (PIF) is a cooperative, non-advocacy partnership among federal, state and local government agencies, philanthropic foundations, professional organizations, conservation groups, industry, the academic community, and private individuals. Partners in Flight was initiated in 1990 in response to declining populations of migratory birds, and to emphasize the conservation of birds not covered by existing conservation initiatives. Department of Defense (DoD) bird conservation programs are a vital part of this initiative. The DoD PIF Program supports and enhances the military mission while it works to develop cooperative programs and projects with PIF partner organizations ensuring a focused and coordinated approach for the conservation of resident and migratory birds and their habitats.

About Partners in Flight
Partners in Flight focuses resources on the improvement of monitoring and inventory, research, management, and education programs involving birds and their habitats. The central premise of Partners in Flight is that the resources of public and private organizations in the Western Hemisphere must be combined, coordinated, and increased in order to achieve the greatest success in conserving bird populations in this hemisphere.
The Partners in Flight mission has three basic priorities: helping species at risk; keeping common birds common; and voluntary partnerships for birds, habitats, and people. The power of PIF lies in the synergy that builds when diverse, committed groups who care about birds work together for a common goal.
