This one’s for the birds; thank goodness someone is. A September 2014 Audubon Society study found that climate change will threaten at least half of North American bird species by 2080. Yikes! Luckily the Audubon Society itself, and its various local chapters such as Santa Clara, is tackling the issue.
According to their website the National Audubon Society seeks to “conserve and restore natural ecosystems” for birds and other wildlife, using science and education to influence individual actions and public policy.
The Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, a non-profit, is a conduit for individual action locally (i.e. your opportunity to shine). Volunteer as a bird counter, event organizer, or an action committee member to get involved. Or just send them some money. Kids’ programs, field trips, and classes are also offered.
