Name change for ICBP
THE INTERNATIONAL Council for Bird Preservation is no more. The UK-based global federation of bird conservation organisations has established a new structure and changed its name.
Now known as BirdLife International, the organisation comprises over 360 member representatives and organisations in over 140 countries, plus specialist groups and committed individuals. The aim remains to conserve all bird species on earth and their habitats. This is carried out through advocacy, field programmes and research. The new structure of BirdLife International is more decentralised, throwing responsibility on lead organisations to be known as "national partners" in each country. Forest and Bird has been offered, and accepted in principle, the position of national partner representing New Zealand. This would effectively make us the local arm of the revamped organisation.
