No other conservation organization matches the size, reach, scale, influence, diversity, and creative energy of our chapters, nature centers, volunteer leaders, and partners. At its best, our network has the knowledge and authenticity to care for birds and the places they need in communities across the country; it unites to tackle big challenges facing birds that cannot be solved by any single part of the network alone. It is also true that the Audubon network faces challenges—some significant—in capacity, diversity, and coordination. We are commited to making Audubon and its partners the most effective conservation network in America.
A commitment to education is at the heart of the Audubon tradition. By inspiring more people in more places to value and protect the natural world, we are laying the foundation for future conservation. Audubon Centers are one of the principal elements of our education work. They have inspired more than 10 generations of Americans to learn about and protect birds, other wildlife, and the natural world. Our network of nature Centers now reaches more than a million visitors each year.
Nature-based climate solutions can deliver one third of the emission reductions needed to meet the Paris Climate Agreement.
Audubon committed to becoming an anti-racist organization and partnered with community-led groups to make conservation and the outdoors accessible and equitable for everyone.
We worked with local, state, and federal government to create lasting positive change.
Our programs organized and guided our work to make the world better for birds and people.
Our conservation work throughout the hemisphere protected birds and the places they need.
Audubon is local everywhere. Our chapter network and state offices were critical to protecting and restoring the places that birds need to thrive.
Audubon worked at the state and municipal level to enact policies that help us build a sustainable energy future.
We worked with like-minded organizations and brands to promote bird conservation to new audiences.
This year brought unprecedented challenges, but Audubon and its supporters still achieved important victories to help protect both birds and people.
Even amidst the pandemic, Menunkatuck Audubon Society and its partners found a way to establish New Haven’s first native plant nursery.
