The mission of the National Audubon Society is to conserve and restore natural ecosystems, focusing on birds, other wildlife and their habitats for the benefit of humanity and the earth's biological diversity. Named after the American ornithologist, the society began in 1905 as a federation of local organizations.
Today, the National Audubon Society is made up of 22 state programs, 41 Audubon centers and nearly 500 local chapters. The organization combines science, education and policy expertise in efforts to protect and restore local habitats and the implementation of policies that safeguard birds, other wildlife and the resources in the United States and across the Americas.
More than 2,500 Audubon-designated “important bird areas” identify, prioritize and protect vital bird habitat from coast to coast. Citizen scientists collect vital data through Audubon's annual Christmas Bird Count and Coastal Bird Survey. Conservation initiatives focus on protection and restoration of the nation's most special places from Alaska's Tongass to the Louisiana Coast. And educational programs and materials, well as Audubon Magazine, introduce schoolchildren, families and all nature lovers to the wonders of nature and the power of conservation.
