Alabama is new to the Important Bird Areas Program. Earlier informal efforts led to unofficial recognition of some of the state's most important bird areas, providing a basis upon which an official IBA program can be built. The current effort involves representatives from Audubon, the Alabama Ornithological Society, South Alabama Birding Association, Alabama Natural Heritage Program, Alabama Partners in Flight, Auburn University, US Forest Service, and US Fish and Wildlife Service.
