Protecting birds and their habitats

Successful advancement of Audubon Dakota’s mission is achieved by focusing on conservation strategies that target habitat protection through on-the-ground conservation. Audubon Dakota’s on-the-ground conservation efforts are further focused through the National Audubon Society’s Climate Report (2014) and Grassland Report (2019) which identify climatic and land use influences on the Northern Great Plains, and provide conservation prioritization areas.
The Audubon Conservation Ranching Initiative is a market-based approach that connects conservation-conscious consumers to ranchers that employ "bird-friendly" management practices in raising their livestock.
A new study from National Audubon Society scientists built on Audubon's 2014 Birds and Climate Report revealed that climate change is the number one threat to birds.
