The Voice of Conservation in Florida
For more than a century Audubon has encouraged people to take care of the places that make Florida special. Using science to guide our priorities and birdlife to measure ecosystem health, Audubon advocates for the protection of land, water, and wildlife. Audubon is Florida’s most influential conservation organization and conducts extensive work to protect the Everglades and coastal bird habitats. We manage sanctuaries covering thousands of acres along with two popular nature centers. Audubon promotes stewardship and appreciation of public land and water so people experience and cherish Florida’s natural beauty and wildlife.
As a child, Analee Monrreal loved being outside with her parents, especially on visits back to their native Mexico. Now in graduate school, she credits her early memories of time outdoors with her interest in conservation as a career.
Eliana Ardila Kramer spent her early years in Colombia, the country with the most bird species in the world. Today, she's made a career of birding around the globe — and teaching others how to do the same.
Audubon congratulates the passionate conservationists and park lovers across the state who spoke out for these special places over the last week. You wrote letters, shared updates, and called your elected officials—and it worked!
