42 Sites: Proposing an IBA
Previous steps in this toolkit support users to generate the data required for proposing a Key Biodiversity Area (or Important Bird and Biodiversity Area in the case of some BirdLife Partners).
Before users have generated this data they should consult with the relevent regional IBA coordinator to understand how they can formally propose a site as an IBA.
42.1 Who can propose an IBA?
IBAs must typically be proposed by a BirdLife International partner organisation. In instances where a BirdLife International partner may not have capacity to take a formal lead on a particular site, there must be an opportunity for the partner to be consulted at the minimum.
