Ecosystem Restoration

The Everglades are one of the ecosystems critical to birds and wildlife.

Audubon is involved in many efforts to protect and restore important ecosystems: the Mississippi River, the Everglades, Long Island Sound, the Great Lakes, and more.

The sagebrush landscape has long epitomized the American West. But this unique habitat, home to scores of plants and animals, including the Greater Sage-Grouse, is rapidly disappearing. Already heavily impacted by oil and gas development, its high plains and sweeping vistas are also an important potential source of wind energy.

Save America's Greatest Arctic Wetland

When most people think of the wildlife on Alaska's North Slope, they think of the beleaguered Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. But, to the west, there is another vast wilderness that is also teeming with birds, bears, and caribou. We now have an opportunity to permanently protect America's greatest wetlands.
