| The Friday after Thanksgiving, the Trump Administration issued The National Climate Assessment, a report that tells us what birds have been telling us for years: our climate is changing and urgent action on climate is critical. The National Climate Assessment is a collaboration of 300 experts including 13 governmental agencies and asserts that the “impacts of climate change are intensifying across the country, and that climate-related threats to Americans' physical, social, and economic well-being are rising.” The report included a 2016 study by Audubon’s Senior Climate Scientist, Dr. Brooke Bateman.

| Audubon members spoke out for birds all across the country this year: defending the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Endangered Species Act, submitting public comments to oppose development in special places like Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Bristol Bay and Teshekpuk Lake, and advocating to uphold Greater Sage-Grouse conservation plans, to mention just a few. All told, more than 111,900 Auduboners made over 667,500 contacts with decision-makers, supporting good conservation initiatives and fighting back against environmental threats. Thank you for your continued efforts on behalf of our birds and the places they need. We look forward to working with you in 2019! |
