Mission

Audubon's mission is to conserve and restore natural ecosystems, focusing on birds and other wildlife for the benefit of humanity and the earth's biological diversity. Founded in 1905, the National Audubon Society is named for John James Audubon (1785-1851), famed ornithologist, explorer, and wildlife artist.

Millions of individuals participate in Audubon's conservation, education and advocacy programs, supporting the organization at the local, state and national levels.

National Headquarters

Audubon House, a century-old building in New York City, was renovated by a team of scientists, engineers and architects to be environmentally and fiscally responsible. Since its opening in December of 1991, it has served as a model of sustainable architecture and interior design for government agencies, institutions, and businesses. Information on how this was done is provided through the Audubon House book, Building Green videos, and regularly scheduled tours.
