Mission of the organisation

Audubon conserves and restores natural ecosystems, focusing on birds, other wildlife and their habitats, for the benefit of humanity and the Earth's biological diversity.

Key Activities

  • Developing a framework for protecting birds throughout the United States through the Important Bird Areas Program
  • Engaging a network of Audubon activists to promote sound environmental policy at national, state and local levels
  • Inspiring over one million people each year, of all ages and backgrounds, to connect with nature through Audubon nature centres and education programs
  • Leading tens of thousands of citizen scientists in monitoring, assessing and protecting bird populations through the century-old Christmas Bird Count, home-based Great Backyard Bird Count, and other initiatives
  • Bringing conservation home to individual homes, neighborhoods and communities through Audubon At Home, which promotes an environmentally-conscious approach to backyard habitat and daily living
  • Working to protect America’s great public lands and broader ecosystems, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the Everglades, the Mississipi River, San Francisco Bay, Nebraska’s Platte River, and Long Island Sound
