The Audubon Society

The National Audubon Society is a nonprofit environmental organization dedicated to the conservation of birds and their habitats. The organization focuses on the United States with some projects across the Americas. Incorporated in 1905, Audubon is one of the oldest such organizations in the world. The National Audubon Society protects birds and their habitats using science, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation. Their primary focus areas are to reduce climate pollution and transition to renewable energy, protect coastal areas for birds and people, conserve land, help owners of private land protect the bird population, and create bird-friendly communities. They also work to ensure clean and abundant water in rivers, lakes, streams, wetlands, and marshes, which are paramount to birds’ survival. The Audubon Society is open to everyone. To get started, you can sign up to receive their newsletter, become a member, join a local Audubon chapter, or check out their articles on becoming a bird advocate. They can also help you make your home bird-friendly and support biodiversity with native plants!
