Audubon's Important Bird Areas Program
Last Updated on Saturday, 30 January 2010 14:18
Audubon's Important Bird Areas Program Habitat loss and fragmentation are the most serious threats facing bird populations across America and around the world. BirdLife International, a global coalition of more than 100 conservation organizations, initiated the Important Bird Areas (IBA) Program in Europe in the 1980's to combat these pressures. This key conservation effort has grown into an international endeavor; to date, IBAs have been identified in 156 countries around the globe. As the United States Partner of BirdLife International, Audubon has been administering the program since 1995 via statewide initiatives.

Construction Season Comes To An End
It's quite probable that "construction season" and Amos W. Butler Audubon have never been used in the same sentence. But, indeed, I am here to report that construction season has come to an end for Amos W. Butler Audubon. Construction,[…]
