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.
