Abstract: The Urban Bird Treaty
Program (UBT Program) is administered
through the Service’s Migratory Bird
Program, under the authority of the Fish
and Wildlife Coordination Act (16
U.S.C. 661–667e). The UBT Program
supports partnerships of public and
private organizations and individuals
working to conserve migratory birds and
their habitats in urban areas for the
benefit of these species and the people
that live in urban areas. The UBT
partners’ habitat conservation activities
help to ensure that more natural areas,
including forests, grasslands, wetlands,
and meadows, are available in urban
areas, so that historically excluded and
underserved communities can have
improved access to green space and
opportunities to engage in habitat
restoration and community science as
well as bird-related recreation and
educational programs. These habitat
restoration activities, especially urban
forest conservation, also contribute to
climate resiliency by reducing the
amount of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere. Lights-out programs in
UBT cities help reduce energy costs and
greenhouse gas emissions by reducing
the use of electricity when people and
businesses turn off their lights between
dusk and dawn during the fall and
spring periods of bird migration in order
to reduce bird collisions with building
glass.
The Service designates UBT cities or
municipalities through a process in
which applicants submit a nomination
package, including a letter of intention
and an implementation plan, for
approval by the Service’s Migratory Bird
Program. Within 3 months, the Service
reviews the package, makes any
necessary recommendations for
changes, and then decides to either
approve or reject the package. If
rejected, the city can reapply the
following year. In most cases, when the
Service designates a new city partner,

PO 00000

Frm 00057

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

the Service and the new city partner
hold a signing ceremony, during which
a representative from both the Service
and the city sign a nonbinding
document that states the importance of
conserving birds and their habitats to
the health and well-being of people that
live in and visit the city. To maintain
this city partner designation, the city
must submit information on the
activities it has carried out to meet the
goals of the UBT Program, including
those related to bird habitat
conservation, bird hazard reduction,
and bird-related community education
and engagement. By helping make cities
healthier places for birds and people,
the UBT Program contributes to the
Administration’s priorities of justice
and racial equity, climate resiliency,
and the President’s Executive Order
14008 to protect 30 percent of the
Nation’s land and 30 percent of its
ocean areas by 2030.
The UBT program benefits city
partners in many ways, including:
• Helps city partners achieve their
goals for making cities healthier places
for birds and people.
• Provides opportunities to share and
learn from other city partners’ tools,
tactics, successes, and challenges, to
advance city partners’ urban bird
conservation efforts.
• Strengthens the cohesion and
effectiveness of the partnerships by
coming together and working under the
banner of the UBT Program.
• Gives city partners improved access
to funding through the National Fish
and Wildlife Foundation’s Five Star and
Urban Waters Restoration grant
program, as UBT cities receive priority
in this program.
• Helps partners garner additional
funds through other urban conservation
grant programs that have shared goals
and objectives.
• Helps partners achieve green
building credits, reduced energy costs,
green space requirements,
environmental equity, and other
sustainability goals.
• Promotes the livability and
sustainability of partner cities by
spreading the word about the city’s UBT
Federal designation and all the benefits
of a green and bird-friendly city.
We collect the following information
from prospective and successful
applicants in conjunction with the UBT
Program:
• Nomination Letter—A prospective
applicant must submit a letter of
intention from the city’s partnership
that details its commitment to urban
bird conservation and community
engagement in bird-related education,
recreation, conservation, science, and

monitoring. Support and involvement
by the city government is required.
• Implementation Plan—The
required implementation plan should
contain the following (see the UBT
Program Guidebook at https://
www.fws.gov/sites/default/files/
documents/urban-bird-reaty-v3.pdf for
full descriptions of requirements):
—Detailed description of the
importance of the city to migrating,
nesting, and overwintering birds and
bird habitats; human population size
of the city; and socioeconomic profile
of the human communities present
and those targeted for education and
engagement programs.
—Map of the geographic area that is
being nominated for designation.
—List of individuals and organizations,
and their contact information, that are
active in the partnership.
—The mission, goals, and objectives of
the partnership applying for
designation, organized by the three
UBT goal categories.
—Description of accomplishments (e.g.,
activities, products, outcomes) that
have been completed over the last 2–
3 years, the audiences and
communities reached/engaged
through those activities, and the
partner organizations that have
achieved them, organized by UBT
goal categories.
—Description of goals, objectives,
activities, actions, and tools/products
that are being planned for the next 3–
5 years under the UBT designation,
the objectives to be accomplished, the
audiences and communities targeted
for engagement, and the partners who
will complete the work, organized by
UBT goal categories.
• Ad Hoc Reports—The Service will
also request information updates on an
ongoing basis, on UBT city points of
contact, activities and events, and other
information about urban bird
conservation in the city, as needed by
the Service for storytelling, promotion,
and internal programmatic
communications, education, and
outreach.
• Biennial Reporting—For each goal
category, the Service requires city
partners to provide biennial metrics, as
well as written and photographic
descriptions of activities. To maintain
their city’s designation by ensuring that
they are actively working to achieve the
goals of the UBT Program, city partners
are required to submit this information.
We will use the information collected
for storytelling purposes to promote the
urban bird conservation work of city
partners, and to enable the Migratory
Bird Program to develop UBT Program

accomplishment reports and other
communications tools to share with the
public and the conservation community
at large. The reporting requirement
ensures that the UBT city designation is
meaningful and that city partners are
accountable for the efforts that they
agreed to undertake to earn their
designation. Additionally, we will use
the information to promote the UBT
Program to other interested city partners
and the benefits of urban bird
conservation generally. For more
