Audubon Mid-Atlantic is working to mitigate the impact of climate change and habitat loss on birds in the Mid-Atlantic region, with a focus on creating healthy and resilient ecosystems where birds thrive and people have access to nature. The organization has established goals in target areas such as coasts, forests, urban/suburban communities, and climate change, and has made progress in areas such as forest management, coastal restoration, and urban bird conservation. Audubon Mid-Atlantic has also worked with partners to advance policy and legislative changes, and has engaged with communities through education and outreach programs. Some notable achievements include training 304 foresters in healthy forest management, restoring saltmarsh habitats, and launching artificial nesting rafts for terns. The organization has also worked to promote bird-friendly practices in urban areas, such as turning off lights to prevent bird collisions, and has engaged with over 80,000 supporters through social media and newsletters.
