Northern Great Plains Joint Venture

The Northern Great Plains Joint Venture is a public-private partnership working to facilitate conservation actions that result in healthy ecosystems for birds and other wildlife while also supporting the people who live and work in the Northern Great Plains. We employ a holistic approach to conservation that considers the ecological, social, and cultural implications of actions. We work to build relevant science and incorporate western science, Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and local knowledge to balance conservation actions, communications, and policy. We support voluntary, incentive-based working lands solutions that work for people and for birds. Our collaborative approach helps sustain local producers and the economic vitality of rural and Indigenous communities.
