7 Before you begin a KBA project

Key message: Before you begin a project involving Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) have a conversation.

Reach out to:

• KBA Regional Focal Points (people who should be able to tell you what major KBA projects are happening in what regions)

• The KBA Secretariat (people who should be able to direct you to the relevant people for support)

• Marine Megafauna Conservation Toolkit authors (people who should be able to help you with some of the specifics related to important sites for marine megafauna)

Contact details for relevant groups / people should be available via the relevant websites.

BirdLife Partners: should also contact relevant Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA) leads, as these people can also help support KBA (and IBA) related work.
