| AUDUBON ADVISORY January 2025 | | | | |
| As 2024 drew to a close, some important conservation policies made it over the finish line that will conserve vital bird habitats and nurture economic growth for years to come. But it wasn't all wins—much work lies ahead for the 119th Congress. Read more | | | | |
| By passing the America's Conservation Enhancement (ACE) Act, Congress reauthorized vital funding for the health of wetlands and other habitats across North America, places that millions of birds call home and that millions of Americans enjoy. Read more | | | | | | |
| Migratory birds don't recognize borders, so ensuring their survival is a global mission. Last month, Congress created the U.S. Foundation for International Conservation, a fund that can provide up to $3 billion to support habitats around the world. Read more | | | | | | |
| Audubon's new Birds and Offshore Wind report shares proven strategies for environmentally responsible offshore wind development. We have lost 3 billion birds over the past 50 years, and two-thirds of North American bird species are vulnerable to extinction unless we combat climate change. The report explains why offshore wind plays an important role in this and shares clear solutions to address risks to birds. Read the report and join us for a webinar on February 12 to learn more. | | | | Earlier this week, the Department of the Interior announced plans to designate the Chuckwalla National Monument, protecting 624,000 acres of critical bird habitat, sacred Tribal lands, and breathtaking desert landscapes. Audubon California and a broad coalition of partners led this effort, supported by more than 56,000 Audubon advocates who sent comments to the Interior Department. Thank you! The designation of this national monument will benefit desert birds like the Cactus Wren and Greater Roadrunner and expand local community recreation opportunities. Read more | | | | | |
