Audubon

The National Audubon Society is a prominent nonprofit organization in the U.S. focused on bird conservation and environmental protection. Established in 1905, it was inspired by early conservationists who fought against the commercial hunting of birds for fashion. Named after the naturalist John James Audubon, the society plays a vital role in wildlife preservation, advocating for policies and public education to safeguard avian species and their habitats. With nearly 500 local chapters, 23 state programs, and 41 nature centers, the society engages in various initiatives, including the Christmas Bird Count, a long-standing citizen-science project. It manages wildlife sanctuaries and offers community science opportunities, educational workshops, and resources to promote environmental stewardship. The organization also certifies sustainable beef producers through its Conservation Ranching Initiative and provides a database for native plants to support local bird populations. The National Audubon Society actively involves bird enthusiasts, conservationists, and educators in its mission to protect birds and their ecosystems.
