What You Can Do To Protect Birds and Tackle Climate Change

Audubon members nationwide are taking action to help birds thrive today and for generations to come. In an op-ed for the Huffington Post—Inspiring Action on Climate Change and Protecting America's Birds—Audubon President and CEO David Yarnold highlights examples of what is working, and he explains why the fight against climate change is a personal one for all of us.

Yarnold writes:

"We could quote reams of science about the ecological importance of birds.

But birds also matter because people take them personally. Whether it's the melody of a Northern Cardinal on a soft spring morning or the faraway honking of migrating geese on a crisp fall evening, birds evoke memories.

Audubon members want to make sure there are plenty of birds around so our kids and their kids can make those memories, too. For us, birds are a #ClimateThing. They make climate change personal, and they inspire us to act. That is working. ... There is something everyone can do. The important thing is to get started."
