A call to protect the world’s 4th largest river system.
Audubon’s Mississippi River Water Initiative is a watershed-wide program, aligning the work of three regional offices, several centers and sanctuaries, and our national strategy teams. We partner with stakeholders, advocates, and decision-makers on efforts to improve or preserve critical habitat and community resilience in the Mississippi River Basin. Our blueprint for a Resilient Lower Mississippi River states, "We envision a healthy and connected network of habitats throughout the Mississippi River region that support sustainable bird populations and strengthen the resilience of human communities against both human-made and natural threats.”
We seek a more resilient and ecologically vibrant future for the Mississippi River through three key action items:
We take a whole-river approach to conservation along the Mississippi River. In addition to our national team, the Mississippi River Water Initiative is supported by regional expertise from Audubon Upper Mississippi River, Audubon Great Lakes, and Audubon Delta.
