Birds are amazing creatures. Their songs, calls, and antics add so much joy to our time outdoors. Audubon was formed because of its members' love of birds and a desire to ensure that future generations can enjoy them. But they also send us an important message. Like us, birds need the right food, clean air, and clean water to survive and thrive. When birds don't have what they need, we don't either.
Birds can warn us of danger. Their movements tell us where the impacts of climate change are disrupting habitats and resources. Where that happens, people will suffer, too. But birds also show us when we've done something right. The rapid resurgence of Bald Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, and Brown Pelicans after DDT was banned is an example of how birds give us positive news after good deeds.
That's why Audubon operates more than 55 nature centers and sanctuaries across the country so that everyone can enjoy birds in their own communities and learn how to protect them.
Audubon's network of over 500 community and campus chapters partner with local communities, like yours, to protect the birds we share and the places they need to survive. We can't do it without you. Sign today, and you can help Audubon lead the way in protecting birds for generations to come.
