Birds Tell Us to Act on Climate Pledge to stand with Audubon to call on elected officials to listen to science and work towards climate solutions. The American West is an overwhelmingly vast landscape. It supports great diversity in habitat, birds, and people, but there is one thing that ties it all together – water, and the recognition that we all depend on and value this limited and diminishing resource. Audubon’s national, regional, and state staff, organized under the umbrella of our Western Water Initiative, work tirelessly to secure a sustainable water future for the West, but we cannot do it alone. That’s why, in 2019, we launched our Western Water Network Grant program, a grant opportunity that supports Audubon chapters in the arid West who lead projects that keep priority rivers and lakes healthy, resilient, and accessible to migratory birds and human communities through policy, advocacy, habitat restoration and enhancement, and community science.
