Audubon is among the nation’s leading voices for the use of sound science to inform conservation actions and public policies. Birds are excellent indicators of ecosystem health and Audubon’s work in Pennsylvania focuses on conserving the diversity and abundance of native bird life and, consequently, protecting Pennsylvania’s environment for the benefit of humanity and the earth’s biodiversity.
