The Appalachian Mountains Joint Venture (AMJV) is one of 18 habitat Joint Venture partnerships in the United States.  The AMJV is comprised of state and federal government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and industries who work together to ensure the long-term sustainability of native bird populations that breed in the Appalachian Mountains.  Also, the Appalachian Mountains region likely serves as a "source" population for several species of forest-breeding birds for adjacent habitat joint ventures (e.g., Atlantic Coast JV , Central Hardwoods JV , Upper Mississippi River/Great Lakes Region JV).  Ensuring that populations of priority species in the AMJV remain viable will also help maintain, and we hope, improve populations in surrounding areas.
