The Audubon mission 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.

Through its education, science and public policy initiatives, Audubon engages people throughout the U.S. and Latin America in conservation.  Audubon’s Centers, and its sanctuaries and education programs are developing the next generation of conservation leaders by providing opportunities for families, students, teachers and others to learn about and enjoy the natural world.  The science program is focused on connecting people with nature through projects like Audubon at Home and Great Backyard Bird Count.

Audubon’s volunteer Citizen Scientists participate in research and conservation action in a variety of ways, from monitoring bird populations and restoring critical wildlife habitat to implementing healthy habitat practices in their own backyards. Audubon’s public policy programs are supported by a strong foundation of science, environmental education, and grass roots engagement.  Working with a network of state offices, chapters, and volunteers, Audubon works to protect and restore our natural heritage.
