Conservation in Florida

Audubon Florida is dedicated to protecting birds and the habitat they need for survival.

Audubon Florida works from the Florida Keys to the Panhandle, the beaches of Northeast Florida to the cypress forests of the Western Everglades to protect birds and the places they need. We strive to partner with local, state, and federal officials and agencies, while empowering chapters and regional organizations to make a difference in their communities.

Conservation Action Agenda
Each year, according to tradition and practice, Audubon Florida leaders gather at the Audubon Assembly to express our annual conservation action agenda through a group of state and regional resolutions that address our public policy priorities. The agenda provides members, chapter leaders, directors, staff, and the public summary statements of our policy and conservation positions. We believe we are the only statewide conservation organization that uses such an open process for setting a policy agenda.
