Audubon Commits to Continued Bipartisan Collaboration for Conservation

WASHINGTON (February 6, 2025) – For 120 years and through 22 U.S. presidential administrations, the National Audubon Society has worked to protect birds and the places they need. With a new administration and Congress in office, Audubon is committed to reinforcing the need for science-based, bipartisan solutions that address biodiversity loss and climate change. Audubon’s mission has never been more urgent, and the organization will continue collaborating with policymakers, communities, and partners—both in the United States and throughout the Western Hemisphere—to create a healthier future for birds, people, and the planet.

"There is urgent work ahead to tackle the dual crises of biodiversity loss and climate change—both of which profoundly affect birds and people across the Americas and beyond," said Dr. Elizabeth Gray, CEO of the National Audubon Society. "Birds are powerful symbols of the planet’s health, acting as sentinels that alert us to changes in our environment. They also have a unique ability to unite people, creating common ground and shared purpose. By staying focused on our mission—protecting birds and the places they need—Audubon is prepared to work with the new administration, Congress, and our partners to meet the challenges ahead and secure a future where birds and people thrive."
