Description

On Saturday, September 13, 2014, Grand Canyon National Park dedicated the park as a Globally Important Bird Area as part of its 7th Annual Celebrate Wildlife Day. The designation came about through the effort of this dedicated group of individuals from Grand Canyon National Park, Grand Canyon Association, Audubon Arizona, and HawkWatch International.

The dedication ceremony for the Globally Important Bird Area designation took place at Yaki Point at 1:30 pm. Event attendees were able to visit with the HawkWatch volunteers immediate following the ceremony.

Globally Important Bird Areas are sites that provide essential habitat for one or more species of birds. Global sites are the highest priority for conservation actions and support species of conservation concern, such as the endangered California condor, threatened Mexican spotted owl, peregrine falcon, and pinyon jay, all found at Grand Canyon.
