At Accent, we've always believed that technology should serve a purpose beyond business—it should contribute to the world we want to see. That's why we're thrilled to announce our sponsorship of Neotropical Birding and Conservation (NBC) for 2026, supporting their vital mission to safeguard the most diverse and endangered avian populations on Earth.
Conservation in Action
Neotropical Birding and Conservation is an international organisation dedicated to the birds of Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean—a region home to an extraordinary wealth of avian life. Since 1994, NBC has been at the forefront of neotropical bird conservation, working tirelessly to protect threatened species and their habitats across the Americas.
Through their Conservation Fund, NBC provides essential financial support to local researchers and conservationists on the ground. These small grants, typically ranging from $1,500 to $3,000, empower grassroots conservation efforts that deliver measurable benefits for some of the world's most spectacular birds. The organisation's Conservation Awards Programme has a proven track record spanning two decades, supporting projects that make a genuine difference.
NBC's recent funded projects demonstrate the breadth and impact of their work, with more than 300 threatened bird species in the Neotropical region, NBC's work has never been more critical. From breakthrough discoveries about rare species to successful habitat protection efforts, the organisation is shaping the future of bird conservation across the Americas.
Connecting a Global Community
NBC isn't just about conservation grants—it's about building a community of people who care deeply about neotropical birds. Members receive two issues of Neotropical Birding and one volume of Cotinga each year, publications that fill unique niches in ornithological literature. These journals share field identification tips, conservation success stories, taxonomic updates, and the latest research from across the region.
The organisation also attends events like Global Birdfair, where they connect with members, share their work, and inspire the next generation of bird conservationists. Through their Ambassador Programme and growing network of corporate supporters, NBC is expanding its reach and impact.
Accent's Commitment
As our contribution to NBC's mission, Accent has built a comprehensive new bespoke WordPress website that will serve as a central hub for all the organisation's activities. The new platform seamlessly integrates membership management, product sales, news updates, conservation project information, and educational resources—all in one accessible location.
Our team has applied decades of WordPress expertise to create a website that reflects NBC's professionalism and passion. The site has been designed with accessibility and performance at its core, ensuring that bird enthusiasts from around the world can easily access information, join the community, and support conservation efforts. We're also providing ongoing maintenance and support, ensuring the website remains secure & up-to-date, and continues to serve NBC's evolving needs.
This isn't just about building a website—it's about creating a digital platform that amplifies NBC's conservation message and makes it easier for people everywhere to get involved.
Why This Matters to Us
At Accent, we've worked with clients across various sectors throughout our 35-year history, but supporting conservation work holds special significance. The natural world faces unprecedented challenges, and organisations like NBC are on the front lines, making tangible differences for species and ecosystems at risk.
The Neotropical region harbours the world's richest bird diversity, yet habitat loss, climate change, and other threats are taking their toll. By providing NBC with a robust digital platform, we're helping to ensure their conservation message reaches further, their membership grows stronger, and their impact continues to expand.

We're proud to support NBC's mission in 2026 and beyond. Together, we can help ensure that the skies of the Neotropics remain vibrant with the songs and colours of these remarkable birds for generations to come.
