As America celebrates its 250-year anniversary, the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia is hosting millions from across the country. But people aren’t the only ones visiting—over forty million birds navigate the city of Philadelphia as they fly between their breeding and wintering grounds. Bird Safe Philly found that bird collisions were occurring at all of the Independence National Historical Park’s modern buildings, which includes the Liberty Bell pavilion. See how Audubon, Bird Safe Philly, and the National Park Service retrofitted an iconic American landmark for birds. Lesser Prairie-Chicken.

That’s why we worked with NextEra Transmission to protect habitat during the planning of a new transmission line to make sure it’s responsibly planned and operated. Learn more about our work in New Mexico to build renewable energy infrastructure and improve habitat for birds like the Lesser Prairie-Chicken. In oil palm landscapes, birds are both indicators of healthy ecosystems and allies in advancing more sustainable and biodiversity-friendly production systems.

A new field manual from Audubon and Fedepalma, Colombia's palm growers' federation, shows what's living there—and how growers can turn that overlap into an advantage.

Besides providing habitat, healthy public lands benefit both birds and people by providing clean water, public access to nature, recreation opportunities, and jobs. Ask your members of Congress to support the America the Beautiful Act to restore our public lands. Did you receive this message from a friend?

“The only suit you’ll ever need”

​ Hi there, We hear the same phrase over and over from customers: "the only suit you'll ever need." Not "my favorite suit." Not "my go-to suit for meetings." The only one. The one that replaces the situational wardrobe most guys end up with.  That was the actual goal, not a suit built for one kind of day, but one that stopped the question of which suit entirely. It took eight years to get there. Fabric that moves with you, construction that holds, fits without a tailor’s help. Nothing about that is exciting. That's sort of the point.

Power our best work on behalf of birds ahead of National Wildlife Day (2X match active!)

We must be steadfast in birds’ defense—not just today, but tomorrow, too.

Power our best work on behalf of birds ahead of National Wildlife Day (2X match active!) Golden-winged Warbler. Every spring and fall, Golden-winged Warblers undertake a perilous, nonstop journey across the Gulf of Mexico. For a bird that weighs about as much as two nickels, this 800 mile overwater crossing is a high-stakes gamble that leaves no room for error. After losing two-thirds of its population since the 1960s, the changing climate makes this a literal life-or-death situation.  If we want to ensure a brighter future for birds and their habitats, we must be steadfast in their defense—not just today, but tomorrow, too. Ahead of National Wildlife Day, please give them the protection they deserve with an annual donation today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift could be matched dollar for dollar, up to $30,000. Make an annual gift today Give what you can. Many donors give $120 annually.

With more than 120 years of expertise under our wing and dedicated friends like you by our side, we can create a safer future for birds and people. And truth be told, we already are. Together, we’re working closely with forest managers, farmers, and private landowners to promote sustainable practices. This includes clearing invasive plant species and cutting back vegetation along forest edges to ensure the warblers have the exact mix of shrubs and tree stands they need to breed. This work—and all the critical work we do on behalf of birds—can only happen with the support of bird lovers like you. Can we count on you to start an annual donation ahead of National Wildlife Day? For a limited time, your first gift could be matched, up to $30,000, to protect birds like the Golden-winged Warbler year-round.
