The Americas are home to three of the eight major migratory bird flyways in the world, and conservationists want to do everything they can to save them.

The Americas Flyway Initiative, a joint effort by the National Audubon Society, BirdLife International, and the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, aims to identify more than 30 critical landscapes and seascapes along the region's flyways, which span 35 countries from the Arctic Circle in the north to Tierra del Fuego in the south, for conservation, restoration, and management.

"We've got to find new creative ways to do things differently, to be bold, to be courageous, to form more collaborations," Martin Harper, CEO of BirdLife International, tells USA Today.

"We must try wherever we can to raise awareness about the wonder of migratory birds and the importance of the places where they live," adds Elizabeth Gray, CEO of the National Audubon Society.

"Because if people are aware, they're more likely to care, and if they care, they are more likely to act.

So, to preserve these incredible places, to preserve the wonder of migrations, preserve our migratory species, to ensure that the people who call these places home, we have to think and act very, very differently
