Bringing back the abundant birdlife of the Everglades is Audubon’s top priority.  With field science, education centers, sanctuaries, policy expertise and grassroots advocacy, Audubonworks in every part of the Everglades ecosystem to restore fresh water flows to benefit birds and the habitats they need. Winged treasures such as the Southern Bald Eagle, Roseate Spoonbill, Everglade Snail Kite and Wood Stork serve as our measure of success for restoration. With many species in decline, we must redouble our efforts so that people and wildlife can flourish together.
