Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs) are sites of international significance for the conservation of birds and other biodiversity. They are identified using a set of criteria that include the presence of globally threatened species, species with restricted ranges, and large concentrations of birds. IBAs are important for a variety of reasons, including their role in providing habitat for migratory birds, their contribution to the maintenance of biodiversity, and their potential for sustainable use.
