Audubon is dedicated to protecting birds and other wildlife and the habitat that supports them. Our national network of community-based Audubon nature centers and chapters, environmental education programs, and advocacy on behalf of areas sustaining important bird populations engage people of all ages and backgrounds in positive conservation experiences.

Founded in 1905, the National Audubon Society is named for John James Audubon (1785-1851), famed ornithologist, explorer, and wildlife artist.

Thousands of individuals participate in Audubon's conservation, education and advocacy programs, supporting the organization at the local, state and national levels.

Audubon has State offices in 28 states, 500,000 members, 500 chapters and numerous Audubon Centers and Sanctuaries throughout the country.
