Audubon Achievements

Audubon initiated in 2011 bold steps to transform its national programs and priorities. With leadership from Audubon President David Yarnold, the National Audubon Society approved this year the major concepts of a new strategic plan. Our organization-wide priorities are to 1) improve forests, farms, and other habitats to work for birds; 2) share coastal habitats with birds and people to improve the survival of key bird species; 3) deploy strategies to ensure the health and viability of critically important bird habitats through our IBA program; 4) develop climate adaptation strategies that reduce risks associated with climate change; and 5) create bird-friendly communities and cities.

Each of these priorities has two central objectives. The first is: act on a large scale to improve the protection of birds. The second is: engage people in intelligent conservation actions. Audubon Connecticut is proud of its many accomplishments that have achieved these results. Audubon science and policy continues as a state-wide leader in the protection of key bird habitats both inland and along the coast. Our Centers in Greenwich, Sharon, and Southbury served tens of thousands of children and adults, elevating conservation and science literacy and growing a strong corps of future conservation leaders.

Our chapters, members, stewardship boards, donors, and staff all helped make this happen. With your support, we can do even more in the year to come - for birds, for wildlife and for the world we share. Thank you for your ongoing love of birds and nature and for your support for all that Audubon does to make our world a better place.
