84:. There are over 13,000 IBAs worldwide. These sites are small enough to be entirely conserved and differ in their character, habitat or ornithological importance from the surrounding habitat. In the United States the Program is administered by the

IBAs are determined by an internationally agreed set of criteria. Specific IBA thresholds are set by regional and national governing organizations. To be listed as an IBA, a site must satisfy at least one of the following rating criteria:

and protection of IBAs that are not within existing protected areas varies within different countries. Some countries have a
National IBA Conservation Strategy, whereas in others protection is completely lacking.
