National Audubon Society

The National Audubon Society is an American non-profit non-governmental environmental protection organization, which was founded in 1886 to commemorate John James Audubon, a French American ornithologist, naturalist and painter. This society focuses on nature conservation and is the oldest organization of its kind in the world.

The Audubon Society is committed to protecting and restoring the habitats of birds and other wildlife through publishing, promotion, and educational activities. Their work involves multiple fields, including ecological conservation, legal policies, public education, and bird habitat protection.

In addition, the Audubon Society regularly organizes bird observation activities, providing the public with opportunities to observe and understand birds up close. At the same time, the organization also collaborates with the government, businesses, and communities to jointly promote the conservation of wildlife and plants.

The National Audubon Society of the United States protects birds and their places of need today and tomorrow through science, advocacy, education, and field conservation.

Audubon's state projects, nature centers, chapters, and partners have an unparalleled wingspan, benefiting millions of people every year and providing information, motivation, and solidarity for different communities in conservation actions.

Since 1905, Audubon's vision has been to build a world where humans and wildlife thrive. Audubon is a non-profit conservation organization.

Here's how we can make a difference.

We have enabled members to participate in grassroots protection actions in nearly 500 local branches across the country.

2. Audubon environmental policy, education, and scientific experts guide legislators, institutions, and our grassroots to develop effective conservation plans, actions, and policies to support them.

3. More than 2500 Audubon designated Important Bird Areas have been identified, prioritized, and protected for important bird habitats from coast to coast - in collaboration with BirdLife International, our IBA conservation efforts support species and their habitats in the Western Hemisphere.

4. "Community scientists" collect important data through Audubon's annual Christmas bird counts, coastal bird surveys, and other initiatives to conduct groundbreaking analysis and guide scientists and policymakers in addressing the needs of birds and other wildlife.

5. Special conservation measures for the entire ecosystem focus on protecting and restoring the most unique places in the United States, from Tongass in Alaska to Sagebrush Nation and the Louisiana Coast.

6. The Audubon Center and Reserve are centers for conservation exploration, research, and action, enabling millions of people to discover and protect the natural world.

7. The educational program and materials are combined with the most acclaimed conservation magazine in the United States, Audubon Magazine, to introduce the wonders of nature and the power of conservation at home and abroad to students, families, and nature enthusiasts of all ages.
