If you’re a bird lover like me or a lover of nature, you are going to love today’s podcast with Tykee James, Government Affairs Coordinator of The National Audubon Society.
The National Audubon Society is a nonprofit conservation organization that started in 1905. It protects birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow.
Audubon works throughout the Americas using science, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation. Audubon believes in a world in which people and wildlife thrive.
Birds play an important role in our ecosystems. They help control pest populations, pollinate plants, and disperse seeds. But bird populations are being threatened as our landscapes and climate is changing.
In a 2019 National Audubon Society report, it was estimated 2/3 of North American bird species will become vulnerable to extinction if global temperatures continue to rise. Audubon experts also found an overlap between places that are important for birds’ survival and where there are natural carbon stores. Therefore, protecting bird habitats is equally important for fighting climate change, thus improving our shared quality of life. As Tykee mentions in the podcast; “Where birds survive, people thrive.”
Thomas Lovejoy, an American ecologist stated; “If you take care of birds, you take care of most of the environmental problems in the world.” and the National Audubon Society is striving to do just that.
