New Audubon Report Showcases Nature-Based Solutions

Nature-based solutions are a proven investment in protecting communities. That's why our recently released Nature Works! report highlights 11 case studies across North America where nature-based solutions have been deployed to address a host of environmental issues. From the Colorado River basin to the southwest coast of Florida, learn more about how these projects harness the power of nature to provide benefits for birds, people, and the places we all need.

Evolving Our American Oystercatcher Tracking with GPS

Thanks to GPS/GSM technology, we can get a detailed look at how birds move to identify important fall and winter habitats. This past summer, we fitted five American Oystercatchers with tiny GPS transmitters and tracked their coordinates daily to see where they nest, forage, and migrate. One female oystercatcher in particular, N92, had a bit of a rough summer. Follow along the summer journey of N92, an American Oystercatcher.

This Wisconsin Solar Farm Protects Greater-Prairie Chickens

The Vista Sands Solar Project is poised to become Wisconsin's largest solar farm. And with our team's input, we made sure that this solar farm can restore large, connected prairie landscapes that benefit not only Greater Prairie-Chickens but also Bobolinks, Meadowlarks, Upland Sandpipers and other grassland birds in steep decline. Read on for more on how responsible and targeted clean energy projects like this are helping birds and communities.

What’s in My Closet (And Currently On Sale)

Hey there,
 
Max here, xSuit's Founder. Presidents Day sale is live—up to 50% off sitewide. Sale emails usually mean scrolling through everything to figure out what's worth it, and I know you don't have time for that. 
 
So here's what I'd recommend for someone who needs to look sharp all day, travels constantly, and doesn't have time to babysit their wardrobe:
 
  • The xSuit 5.0 | 29% Off  - This is the suit I reach for most. Mine has been on probably 100+ flights at this point. Still looks great. Still fits. I wash it in my sink when I'm traveling and hang it up to dry. Never seen a dry cleaner. Right now it comes with a free tie and pocket square.
  • The Merino Half-Zip | 20% Off - I wear it at least twice a week. It's that perfect in-between piece when you don't want to wear a full suit but still need to look like you tried. Doesn't hold smell, regulates temperature, looks good under a blazer or on its own.
  • The xShirt 5.0 Oxford | 25% Off - The only dress shirt I own now. I got rid of the rest. This one doesn't wrinkle, doesn't need ironing, and I can move in it. Sounds basic, but it's the one I don't think about anymore.
 
That's it. That's what's in my closet. So, if you've been thinking about trying xSuit, now's the time. You have until February 24. Don't miss it.
 
Stay sharp,
Max | xSuit Founder

Protect birds and get the Audubon Calendar year after year
In the midst of this code-red climate crisis, with one-third of U.S. bird species in need of conservation action, your involvement in bird conservation has never been more critical. With the support of this community, we are defending the laws that protect birds, promoting strong new legislation aimed at keeping important habitats resilient, and fighting for the bold action birds need now. And it’s working: Our comprehensive program of research, advocacy, education, and hands-on conservation is a powerful force in preventing future extinctions and helping declining populations recover.
But we’re more powerful when generous bird lovers like you are in our corner. So please, join us in protecting birds with an annual gift while you can still receive our calendar as our thanks.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
