The purpose of the Important Bird Area Program is to identify a network of sites that maintain the long-term viability of wild bird populations while engaging the public to conserve those areas of critical habitat. Sonoran Audubon Society has committed to surveying the Agua Fria National Monument Riparian Corridors and the Salt and Lower Gila Riparian Ecosystem and has been fundamental to protecting the species in these areas.
