We’ve tapped people’spassion and translated that into action—on a landscape scale and in our communities.This is a new, robust Audubon.It’s One Audubon. Some doubted thatour network would be able to leverage itsstrengths; others questioned whether wecould find a common voice. But while wemay not be done, we’re well on our way.Consider these facts: In the past yearwe’ve taken a giant step toward restoringthe Gulf Coast, and our members haveplanted thousands of bird-friendly nativegardens. We’ve partnered with Toyota tolaunch a diverse army of TogetherGreenfellows in every state, and we’ve helpedwrite the rules that will harness wind energyin the right places while protectingtipping-point bird habitats.I hope you enjoy this report. To startwith, we want to‚‚share some overarchingthemes: Network Action, Healthy Climate,and the power of Key Species.

actionConservation victories are always shared successes.Scientists provide the knowledge thatunderpins environmental action. Not-for-profitadvocacy organizations educate the publicabout the issues. Lawmakers enact legislationto protect wildlife and the natural world.But none of it would be possible withoutthe passionate activism of the grassroots, theordinary people who do extraordinary things onbehalf of wildlife and natural places. Whetherit’s cleaning beaches fouled by a disastrous oilspill or demanding that their legislators protectpristine places in the far north that are crucialto birds, it is the passion of these people thatdrives the forces of hope. Together, Audubon’sunparalleled network of activists channel thatenergy and produce real conservation success.RestoRing the gulfFor two years Audubon staff in Washington, D.C., and theMississippi Flyway, as well as volunteers across America,helped shape and push for the RESTORE Act. We saw victorythis past July, when President Obama signed the billinto law, establishing one of the most significant pieces ofconservation legislation passed in decades. RESTORE coulddirect as much as $20 billion in BP’s fines from the 2010Deepwater Horizon oil spill to restoring Gulf Coast habitat.The success of passing RESTORE was built on theshoulders of many heroes, including Audubon’s allies inCongress, our partner environmental organizations, andthe Walton Family Foundation. And Audubon activistshave been working on the ground, coming to the defenseof the Gulf’s birds and beaches in many ways.• During the spill’s first days, Audubon was the go-to groupin the Gulf; more than 35,000 Audubon activists cameforward to volunteer for rescue and recovery efforts.• Following the spill, about 200 Audubon Chapters educatedmembers about the crisis, inspiring them to take action.• Audubon activists delivered more than 115,000 emailsand phones calls to legislators in Congress.In the months leading up to RESTORE’s passage,Audubon kept the pressure on. We launched the MississippiFlyway Action Network (MFAN), which unites onlineand offline communities and encourages a flywaysmindedapproach to conservation. The initiative trainedvolunteer leaders who met with legislators in Washington;wrote op-eds and letters to editors; worked with Chaptersin the 14 Mississippi Flyway states to involve their members;sent letters and made phone calls to state lawmakersand congressional delegations; and more.RESTORE is a victory shared by many. But none weremore heroic, or more passionate, than our grassroots activists.Without them, this simply would not have happened.safeguaRding the aRcticAudubon has been working in the National PetroleumReserve-Alaska (Reserve), the largest public land unitin the country, for more than two decades. This roughly23-million-acre landscape is one of the most importantbreeding grounds for more than five million birds fromacross all four North American flyways, including theSpectacled Eider, Yellow-billed Loon, and Pacific Brant.In August Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announceda “preferred alternative” for managing theReserve, putting Audubon and its partners on the vergeof a conservation victory of staggering scale. The plan,pacific Brant 3audubon is working all alongthe pacific flyway, from alaskato Baja Mexico, to protecthabitat for the entire rangeof the pacific Brant.6 AuD u B o N 2012 ANNu AL REPo R t


expected to be finalized in december, would designate11 million acres—roughly the size of Massachusetts andConnecticut combined—in the Reserve as unavailableto oil and gas leasing. The plan includes 96 percent ofthe priority areas identified in Audubon’s conservationrecommendations to the Department of the Interior.While Audubon scientists have been fighting for balancedmanagement in the Reserve for more than 20years, victory would have been impossible without thepassionate and relentless efforts of Audubon activists. In2011 more than 100 Audubon Chapters engaged theirmembers—18,000 of them—to send postcards to the Interiordepartment supporting protection of the Reserve’s keywildlife areas, including teshekpuk lake. this year, whenAudubon magazine ran a story about the Reserve that includeda postcard to be mailed to Secretary Salazar, urgingprotection of the Reserve, many readers did just that.saving habitatCape Hatteras National Seashore, on North Carolina’sOuter Banks, is visited by hundreds of thousands ofAmericans each year. It also provides vital habitat fora number of Audubon priority species, including Pipingplovers, least terns, and American Oystercatchers.In early 2011, in response to a lawsuit filed by theSouthern environmental law Center on behalf of Audu-bon North Carolina and Defenders of Wildlife, the NationalPark Service implemented a long-overdue managementplan that finally put conservation of these beacheson equal footing with recreation. The plan is alreadypaying off. In 2007 there were no Black Skimmer nestsreported at the seashore; in 2011 there were 99. duringthe same period, least tern nests rose more than 500percent, from 194 to 1,048, and sea turtle nests nearlydoubled, from 82 to 147.Some of the seashore’s human visitors, most notablyoff-road-vehicle (ORV) enthusiasts, are angry about thenew rules, and they have pressured the state’s congressionaldelegation to have them overturned. In response,an army of activists, mobilized by Audubon NorthCarolina and like-minded groups, is battling back on behalfof the birds. the state office has gotten its message outthrough mailings, press releases, its website and blog, andsocial media. Activists are determined to continue fightingfor the birds by keeping the pressure on the North Carolinalegislators who want to overturn the current regulationsand return the beach to what one Audubon North Carolinaofficial calls “an ORV free-for-all.”1pipinG pLovErplovers often share theirhabitat with people and theirvehicles, which requires balancingmultiple needs to achieveeffective conservation.AuduBOn 2012 AnnuA l RepORt 7


saving sage-gRouseFive years ago, when Audubon Wyoming set out to savethe sagebrush ecosystem, it found the means to createprotective policy for the Greater Sage-Grouse. We wantedto steer development in the interior West, especiallyenergy development, to areas where impacts on birdswould be minimal. Our immediate goal was to identifyand protect the most critical sage-grouse habitat. But wealso knew that a range of other wildlife would benefit—from grassland birds, including the Sage Sparrow and theBrewer’s Sparrow, to pronghorn Antelope and elk. Whilewe can protect large chunks of habitat, the reality is thatwe can’t save everything. So we must focus our conservationstrategies on the most valuable places.In Wyoming, Audubon worked with a range of stakeholders,from state and federal agencies to the oil, gas,and wind industries and ranchers. Audubon scientistscreated maps that pinpointed core areas crucial to thesage-grouse; the 14 million acres they settled on encompasseda little more than 20 percent of Wyoming butincluded breeding habitat for 80 percent of its sagegrouse.Taking into consideration research showing thatthe birds avoid juniper trees and drilling rigs in the winter,and that the related Prairie-Chicken steers clear of windturbines, the task force recommended that core area“surface disturbance”—gas wells, wind turbines, roads,pipelines, even overhead transmission lines—be limited toa maximum of five percent of each square mile.Today Audubon’s pioneering approach to sage-grouseconservation is sweeping across the West. A number ofstates—Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Nevada—are submittingsage-grouse management plans to the U.S. Fish andWildlife Service; Utah, Colorado, and Montana have plans inthe works, too. Audubon’s effort has already protected 15million acres (and growing) across the West, laying a foundationfor responsible energy development in the region.WoRk With the usfWsThis past year, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wasseeking a cutting-edge core-habitat strategy to use as amodel for conservation nationwide, the success of our workwith sage-grouse convinced the agency that our approachcould be widely applied to other imperiled species and habitatsacross the hemisphere. As USFWS Director Dan Ashesaid, “I see great potential in cooperating with Audubon todevelop common species-based objectives and to work togetherto ensure landscape--scale conservation is achieved.”Audubon’s key species strategy will be the subject of a 2013forum held by the USFWS and the National Fish and WildlifeFoundation and co-hosted by Audubon.putting it into pRacticeAudubon’s policy, science, and conservation teams haveidentified additional species that would benefit from thesage-grouse approach. So far we have identified nine keyspecies, representing all four flyways, including the WesternSandpiper, the lesser prairie-Chicken, the CeruleanWarbler, and the Piping Plover.One species already benefiting from this strategy is theYellow-billed Cuckoo. Our Western Rivers initiative in Arizonaand New Mexico focuses, in part, on the imperiledriparian woodlands the species depends on to survive.By focusing our conservation work on the remaining largetracts of cottonwoods and willows, we can save criticalhabitat for the Yellow-billed Cuckoo, currently a candidatefor the endangered species list. that will, in turn, benefitother birds, including the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher,and other wildlife as well.7 GrEATEr SAGE-GroUSEThe 15 million acres ofsagebrush habitat Audubonhelped save benefits not justsage-grouse but manyother species.LESSEr prAiriE-cHicKEn 3This sage-grouse cousin,threatened by developmenton its grasslands habitat,will profit from sage-grouseconservation.AuduBOn 2012 AnnuA l RepORt 11


1Conservation Doesn't Have a PartyConservation is not left, right, or center—it’s common sense.In 2012 Audubon, in partnership with the Republican organizationConservAmerica, launched a bold campaign, “Because ConservationDoesn’t Have a Party,” to engage people all along the politicalengagingOUR netwORkAudubon was a social network from its inception,when early conservationists formed chaptersthat opposed the killing of birds for hatsand clothing. A century later our social networkhas truly come to life. We’re communicatingvital conservation messages and connectingwith increasingly diverse audiences. That mightmean giving website visitors an up-close look ata seabird colony, the way we did via Puffin Cam.Or offering nature lovers a chance, with Exit theHighway, our exciting collaboration with Toyota,to join a virtual community and share theirfavorite nature photos. Or providing the latestnews from around our network with Wingspan,spectrum. Nearly 120,000 people signed the American EagleCompact and participated via a blog and social media in anattempt to lift conservation above the partisan rancor thatprevents any progress on resolving congressional gridlock.a monthly, flyway-customized email newsletter.This virtual network is providing new supportfor our mission. We’re using social media to builda bigger Audubon community, tripling our socialmedia followers in the past year. We’re alsogrowing fundraising through digital channels:Fiscal year 2012 saw a 300 percent increase innet online revenue over the previous year. Onlinechannels can also be effective pieces of a largerconservation effort. June’sRaise Your Voice for Arctic Birdsmultiplatform campaign (directmail, email, social media, andpublic relations) was a collaborationof National Audubon’sEngagement and Policy teams,the Audubon Alaska state program,and our partners at theAmerican Birding Associationto raise support for protectingcritical habitat in Alaska.12 AuduBON 2012 A NNu A l R EPORT


Conservation StrategiesBy focusing our work on five specific strategies, Audubon canmaximize the impact wehave on birds and the habitat theyneed.Putting workingLandsto workfor Birds & Peoplebest management practices on ranches, farms, and forests hold the key tosurvivalfor more than 150 species of threatenedgrassland and forest birds. by partneringwith landowners, Audubon can help ensure a bright future for birds like the CeruleanWarbler and the Tricolored blackbird, and a healthy landscapefor future generations.sharingourseas& shoresCoastal areas are a magnet for birds and people alike. Unfortunately, overfishing,development, and sea-level rise put 60percent of coastalbirds atrisk.by expandingoursuccessful coastal stewardship program, Audubon can enlist agrowing army ofvolun-teer caretakers of nesting habitat.Seabirds are also vulnerable—they makeup close tohalf thespecies on Audubon’s Watchlist. by incorporating marinesites into our Importantbird Areas program, Audubon can advance policies and practices that willreducethreats such as overfishing and pollution from oil and other causes.savingimportantBird AreasKnowing which places are most important for birds is the first step toward conservingthem. Audubon has identified 2,544 Important Bird Areas in the United States, covering378 million acres, and is supporting work insome of the2,345 IbAs in latin America,the Caribbean, and Canada. now we can harness the Audubon network to protect,restore, and advocate for theselandscapes and the birds that dependon them.


shaping a healthy Climate & Clean energyfutureClimate change poses an unprecedented threat not just to birds but to biodiversityand our shared quality of life. Audubon is responding to this challengewith an equally unprecedented combination of strategies, from advancingtransformational policies that reduce carbon emissions and support wellsitedgreen energy to leading adaptive land-management practices that willmitigate the impact of sea-level rise and climate change.Creating Bird-friendly riendly CommunitiesMost Americans live in cities or suburbs, and people can play a critical role infostering healthy wildlife populations and communities. Rural regions have anoutsized opportunity to contribute. As the leading voice for birds,Audubon can inspire the one in five adults who watches birdsto make daily lifestyle choices that add up to realconservation impact.7AmeriCAn kesTreLPopulations of this, our smallestfalcon, have declined significantlyacross much of northAmerica in recent decades,particularly in the northeast.AudubO n 2012 AnnuA l RepORT 17

One AudubonWe follow the flyways and work as one.The flyways traveled by migratory birds each spring and fall inspire ourmodel for organizational alignment. By connecting the work of the Audubonnetwork—Chapters, Centers, national and state staff, volunteers, U.S. andinternational partners, and other supporters—along each of the flyways ofthe Americas, Audubon can weave a seamless web of conservation for bothmigratory and non-migratory species. By working toward common flywayconservation goals, we can have greater impact. And by coordinating resourcesand expertise, we can increase our efficiency across the network.State ProgramsAudubon’s 22 state programs give us a presence at statehouses and provide statewideleadership for Chapters and Centers. The state programs are a powerful force forprogrammatic alignment throughout the flyways.CentersForty-seven Audubon Centers introduce more than a million visitors each year to thenatural world—and inspire them to help protect it.ChaptersAudubon’s 465 Chapters are more than our face in communities from coast tocoast; they are the drivers of our on-the-ground conservation work. Many of the mostimportant Audubon milestones took flight from our Chapter members’ dedication andpassion for birds and nature. As full partners in our Strategic Plan, Chapters can be aneven more powerful force for conservation.Hemispheric PartnersAudubon works with 19 BirdLife International partners and others across the Americasto protect birds throughout their annual lifecycles of breeding, migration, and wintering.5SEASIDE SPARROWThis priority bird lives onlyin coastal saltmarshes. Itshabitat, already fragmented bydevelopment, is particularlythreatened by sea-level rise.Engagement: Increase Reach and DiversityBy engaging a broader and more diverse audience in our work, Audubon will meet thecomplex challenges facing birds. No other conservation organization has Audubon’swingspan, from the grassroots to the grasstops.As the leading brand in bird conservation, Audubon has the power to unite diversestakeholders to solve even the toughest problems and the reach to motivate individualsand communities to take action for birds and the environment.Nevertheless, like the environmental movement overall, we face a challenge: Ourmembers and supporters do not fully reflect the nation’s changing demographics. Underour strategic plan, Audubon will bring the inspiration of nature to diverse communitiesthrough Audubon Centers, our Toyota TogetherGreen partnership, and other initiatives. Wewill extend our reach beyond the 1.8 million who read each issue of Audubon magazine toembrace audiences more likely found on Facebook, Twitter, or the next platform. We willengage a new generation of conservation leaders while maintaining our core loyal friends.

‘‘The political stars are aligningalong the Pacific Flyway, paving theway for significant conservation gains.In California, for instance, we’ve beeninstrumental in creating the country’slargest network of marine reserves—a boon for Audubon priority birds likeMarbled Murrelets and Black Oystercatchersas well as for fish and marinemammals. Now Oregon and Washingtonare beginning to follow suit. On land,Audubon California is partnering withother nonprofits and government agenciesto help farmers and ranchers adoptmore bird-friendly practices. Puttingworking lands to work for birds makesfarmers, the government, and Audubonhappy. Paying rice and alfalfa farmers todelay their harvest, for instance, benefitsmigrating Long-billed Curlews andbreeding Tricolored Blackbirds.

That production,however, has comeat a high cost for wildlife:the loss of 95 percent ofthe wetlands that migratingwaterfowl, shorebirds,and other species dependon. In the Central Valley,many birds now turn torice farms as alternativehabitat; these landsnow represent more than80 percent of availablewetlands in winter. That’swhy Audubon California ispartnering with individualrice growers and otherstakeholders, includingthe Natural ResourcesConservation Service,The Nature Conservancy,PRBO Conservation Science,and the CaliforniaRice Commission, toensure that these floodedrice fields are managedin ways that also supportbird populations.

ChaPTers4. offshore ConservationSeabirds are among our most vulnerable birds and face many challenges, including overfishing, whichdepletes available food; introduced invasive species and other impacts to breeding islands; humanrecreation, which can disturb nesting habitat; and coastal development, which destroys some wetlandsand compromises the quality of others. These threats converge with ferocity in California, with potentiallygrim consequences for such Audubon priority species as the Ashy Storm-Petrel, the Pacific Brant, theMarbled Godwit, the Black Oystercatcher, and the Marbled Murrelet. ensuring healthy habitat calls forprotecting their ocean feeding grounds as well as coastal and island habitat. The Mendocino AudubonSociety and Audubon California led efforts to establish marine reserves on California’s north coast thatincluded protections for seabirds and shorebirds at global IBAs and other sites. The California Fish andGame Commission’s approval this year of sweeping new protections for marine areas from the Oregonborder to Point Arena was a testimony to their efforts, and a tremendous victory for marine birds.26 AuduBON 2012 ANNu AL RePORT

StateS2. restoring Health to New Mexico’s riversMore than half of New Mexico’s rivers have had their flows significantlyaltered by development and shortsighted water management, says arecent Audubon new Mexico report. The resulting loss of riparian foreststhreatens priority species like the Yellow-billed Cuckoo and the SouthwesternWillow Flycatcher. While riparian habitat accounts for only onepercent of new Mexico, it is essential to 80 percent of its vertebrate species;renews the water supply for two million new Mexicans; and is vitalto the tourism industry.

CenterS7. Nebraska's Migration Superhighwayeach spring nebraska’s Platte River is the site ofone of north America’s true wildlife spectacles:the migration of Sandhill Cranes. More than ahalf-million of the cranes, along with threatenedPiping Plovers and endangered Whooping Cranesand Least Terns, rely on the river’s wetlands andsandbars to prepare for a migratory push thatcan take them to the Arctic. At the center of thissingular phenomenon is Audubon nebraska’s Iainnicolson Audubon Center, and no place offers abetter introduction to the miracle of migration—ora better demonstration of the importance of PlatteRiver habitat, now just a tenth of its historic expanse.For the staff at Audubon’s Rowe Sanctuary,an Important Bird Area that surrounds the Center,conservation is a year-round commitment thatincludes clearing river channels, building LeastTern and Piping Plover nesting islands, and restoringwetlands vegetation. To assure a future forAmerica’s greatest migration, the nicolson Centeris engaging people worldwide in personal experienceswith the cranes. This spring the AudubonCenter had more than 13,000 guests from 48 differentcountries and all 50 states. The Rowe staffand volunteers provided 194 guided programs for4,400 guests in six weeks, and volunteers donatedmore than 4,600 hours in that time.3SaNDHill CraNeeach night during spring migration,some 70,000 Sandhill Cranes canbe found at the rowe Sanctuary,fueling up for the trip to their breedinggrounds in alaska and Canada.

Now the Center’s new Charity A. KruegerFarm Discovery Center is introducing youngsters to life on the farm through its Nature/Farm PlayPreschool. This innovative program, the first farm-based preschool in the country, is a strategicaddition to the Center’s existing programs, which model sustainable agriculture practices thatattract and support nesting neotropical songbirds. It’s also a vivid example of how the variedCenters of the Mississippi Flyway connect with their equally diverse communities. While Aullwoodreflects the agricultural heritage of the Midwest, the Audubon Center at Riverlands in St. Louis isfirmly rooted in the river-focused traditions and riparian habitat of its location at the confluenceof the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. The 3,700 acres of prairie marsh and forest surroundingthe Center introduce local residents to a wetland complex that’s crucial to a wide range of birds,including bald Eagles, King Rails, and thousands of waterfowl and shorebirds. In Mississippi, thePascagoula River Audubon Center inspires Gulf Coast residents to protect the coastal birds andthe ecosystems along one of the last large, free-flowing rivers in the country.
