To assist in carrying out Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act (NMBCA), the Secretary of the Interior in 2006 convened an Advisory Group of individuals representing public and private organizations actively involved in conserving neotropical migratory birds. This Advisory Group includes members of the North American Wetlands Conservation Council, as well as other bird conservation professionals.

Members of the Advisory Group bring to the table diverse perspectives, from state natural resource agency managers to national nongovernment conservation organizations.  Members represent the United States, Canada, Mexico and South American nations.
