A Trusted Leader 

Audubon is a trusted nonpartisan leader in science-based conservation. We work with decisionmakers from domestic and international governments, Indigenous partners, and local communities to create solutions that last. With decades of experience in renewable energy, habitat restoration and land protection, working lands management, and environmental policymaking, and backed by the latest science and innovative tools, Audubon addresses the most urgent challenges of our time: biodiversity loss, habitat degradation, and climate change.

Through a powerful network of more than 500 community and campus chapters, 61 Audubon Centers and Sanctuaries, dozens of partners and1.9 million members and supporters, Audubon mobilizes tens of thousands of supporters who speak up for conservation across every U.S. state and territory and stretching across the hemisphere. Our “local everywhere” network, combined with deep policy expertise, drives bipartisan legislation, international and regional pledges, and hands-on conservation efforts that deliver real benefits for birds and communities. Guided by science, community impacts, and collaboration, Audubon is advancing a future where birds, people, and the planet can thrive together.
