| | The biological rationale for IBAs is that some sites are exceptionally important for bird conservation, and the consequences of the loss of any one of them may be disproportionately large. | | | Most of the existing Joint Ventures have taken steps to embrace the goal of integrated bird conservation (that is, all species), and the others have it under consideration. | | | The goals of this meeting will include emerging with a 5-year NABCI plan, with measurable objectives, going beyond the guiding principles agreed upon in Puebla; focusing on implementation—in particular setting direction for generating more resources for bird conservation and creating the infrastructure necessary to achieve objectives; and bringing funders and journalists into the NABCI process. |

| | Bird Flu |
| | Because cats eat birds - or at least most would like to if we would let them - there is a concern about felines contracting the avian flu and then, in turn, potentially transmitting it to humans. | | | The usually fatal virus also has infected humans, though most, if not all, of the cases involved individuals who had direct and close contact with infected birds. | | | Before it can trigger a pandemic, the virus will have to mutate in such a way that it becomes easily passed from person to person. |

| | While avian influenza spreads rapidly among birds, it does not infect humans easily, and there is no confirmed evidence of human-to-human transmission. | | | This is, needless to say, a gigantic problem in accurately diagnosing bird flu—which is critical to beginning appropriate treatment as well as initiating infection control procedures and public health measures. | | | Tamiflu is the magic bullet for bird flu, however it may be useful in some specific situations. |
