Dan Seen: American Bird Conservancy

Rayford Latz: http://www.audubon.org/The National Audubon Society (Audubon) is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to conservation. Located in the United States and incorporated in 1905, Audubon is one of the oldest of such organizations in the world and uses science, education and grassroots advocacy to advance its conservation mission. It is named in honor of John James Audubon, a Franco-American ornithologist and naturalist who painted, cataloged, and described the birds of North America in his famous book Birds of America published in sections between 1827 and 1838.The society has nearly 500 local chapters, each of which is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization voluntarily affiliated with the National Audubon Society, which often organize birdwatching field trips and conservation-related activities. It also coordinates the Christmas Bird Count held each December in the U.S., a model of citizen science,! in partnership with Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the Great Backyard Bird Count each February. Together with Cornell, Audubon created eBird, an online database for bird observation. The National Audubon Society also has many global partners to help birds that migrate beyond our borders, including BirdLife International based in England, Bird Studies Canada, and many partners in Latin America and the Caribbean. Audubon's International Alliances Program (IAP) brings together people throughout the Western Hemisphere to work together to implement conservation solutions at Important Birds Areas (IBA's).The society's main offices are in New York City and Washington, D.C., and it has state offices in about 24 states. It also owns and operates a number of nature centers open to the public, located in urban settings, including New York City, Joplin, Phoenix, Dallas and Los Angeles, as well as at bird refuges and other natural areas. Audubon Centers help to forge lifelong connections ! between people and nature, developing stewards for conservatio! n among young and diverse communities.have a good night and i hope for best answer :)...Show more

Penelope Armond: The American Bird Conservancy and National Audubon Society are two national organizations and there are many state and local bird rescue/conservation groups. Agencies such as the US Fish and Wildlife Service conserve birds and there are many wildlife refuges set aside specifically for birds. Partners in Flight is an international organization with a US component promoting protection for migratory birds that span multiple countries during migration. The Nature Conservancy also helps protect wild birds in their natural habitat....Show more
