Audubon Delta - Mississippi

According to Audubon’s 2019 climate change report, ‘Survival By Degrees,’ up to two-thirds of North American birds are vulnerable to extinction due to climate change. The good news is that there are plenty of opportunities to protect birds from this existential threat, and Audubon members have been leading the way for years. In 2014, after the publication of Audubon's first climate change report, thousands of people asked how they could help make the world a better place for birds, and Climate Watch was born. Since 2016, Climate Watch volunteers have collected data which Audubon scientists are able to use to document in peer reviewed research that birds are responding to climate change and shifting their ranges.

You can join us in this fight by observing birds in your area, using our specific protocol, and helping us learn about how birds are responding to the changing climate. Go learn more visit: https://www.audubon.org/conservation/climate-watch. 

Stewardship Steering Committee meetings occur approximately once per month. All volunteers, with or without experience, are welcome to attend these meetings. At these sessions, we plan for and brainstorm activities to promote awareness, provide outreach, and recruit new volunteers to help in our breeding bird stewardship efforts. Everyone is invited to attend!
