Margo Rosenbaum (she/her) has built her career around telling stories that connect people to science and nature. With a deep passion for birds and working landscapes, she believes that storytelling is one of the most powerful tools for bringing people into the world of conservation.
At Audubon, Margo focuses her communication efforts on the Wings Over Working Lands programs, including Audubon Conservation Ranching and Bird-Friendly Maple. She is committed to highlighting how stewardship of working lands and partnerships with landowners play a vital role in supporting birds and their habitats.
With bachelor's degrees in communications and evolution, ecology & biodiversity from the University of California, Davis, Margo always knew she wanted to work in conservation communications. She brings seven years of professional experience in book publishing and science journalism, reporting on local news, public health, and the environment for publications including the Sacramento Bee, EdSource, Earth Island Journal, and Audubon magazine. Margo also previously worked as an editor at Lonely Planet and National Geographic Books. Her connection to Audubon began in 2022, when she completed a reporting internship with the magazine.
When she isn't telling stories for Audubon, you can find her birding, hiking, or riding her horse on the beautiful trails of Northern California.
