| Audubon Wyoming
to Hold BioBlitz Event this Summer in Shirley Basin |
|
This
summer, on June 20 and 21, Audubon Wyoming, along
with Laramie Audubon, Murie Audubon, the University
of Wyoming, the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database and
a number of resource agencies and non-profit organizations
will be hosting its first annual “BioBlitz event”
in the Shirley Basin. A “bioblitz” is an
event that brings together scientists, teachers, and
members of the public in a race against time to see
how many species they can count in a 24-hour biological
survey. PTSB Credit is available for teachers. Click

| Birds and
Climate Change: On the Move |
|
Nearly
60% of the 305 species found in North America in winter
are on the move, shifting their ranges northward by
an average of 35 miles. Audubon scientists analyzed
40 years of citizen-science Christmas
Bird Count data — and their findings provide
new and powerful evidence that global warming is having
a serious impact on natural systems.

| Pennies for
the Planet Helps the Sagebrush Sea |
|
 To
support global conservation efforts, kids can collect,
earn, save, and send in pennies to support conservation
projects and local education efforts in this year's
target ecoregions. Every penny raised by kids will go
directly to field projects and local education efforts
that protect these ecoregions and their critical species,
habitats, and ecosystems. This year's program targets
the Sagebrush Sea.
