The Power Of AuduBon

 

Working together, Audubon's many parts and people achieve success beyond what any one could accomplish alone.

PRESERVING A PRECIOUS WILDERNESS

Audubon state offices, policy experts, and grassroots activists united to help spur a crucial federal decision to defer oil and gas drilling in Alaska's Teshekpuk werlands for at least ten years, saving nesting areas for more than a million migratory birds. We'll continue to work together to make the temporary reprieve into permanent protection.

OPENING NEW EYES TO NATURE WITH NEW CENTERS For many today, the combination of hectic lives and disappearing natural places can add up to a growing disconnect from nature. That's why Audubon is working with partners across the country to ensure that more people have the opportunity to get outside and learn about the natural world at one of our Audubon Centers. Visit our newest Centers in Dallas, TX; Columbus, OH; Phoenix, AZ; and Little Rock, AR or any of our more than 40 Centers that stretch from Maine to California. Each is a community hub for nature education, recreation, and conservation.

COUNTING THAT COUNTS

Tens of thousands of citizen scientists will take part in Audubon's 111th annual Christmas Bird Count. Data collected by these dedicated volunteers is vital to the State of the Birds Reports and conservation efforts by Audubon Chapters across the country, along with policy initiatives from the local level to the White House,

CRAFTING A SPECTACULAR COMEBACK

Thirty-eight years ago, Atlantic Puffins were nearly gone from Maine's rocky coastal islands. Now, after decades of tireless efforts to rebuild, nurture, and monitor their colonies, Audubon staff and volunteers have the puffins back and thriving. The innovative techniques pioneered by Project Puffin are now being used to restore other seabirds on islands around the globe.
