Agricultural Policy Program

Audubon places a premium on the conservation benefits provided by farmlands. Our Agricultural Policy is focused on encouraging grassland and wetlands environmental benefits from farm programs. Much of the net gain in the nation's wetlands acres will come about from farmlands restored to seasonal pools, marshes and forested flood plains.

Endangered Species Campaign

To harness our field and grassroots strength in pursuit of an overarching goal: a strong and fully functioning federal Endangered Species Act to protect species that are in the greatest need. We couple this work with on-the-ground efforts by our members and staff to aid both listed and declining species, including proactive conservation measures to protect key habitat.
