The Alachua Audubon Society’s mission is to foster appreciation and knowledge of birds and other native wildlife, to protect and restore wildlife populations and their habitats, and to promote sustainable use of natural resources.
According to a recent article published on NPR, North America has lost around 3 billion birds over the past 5 decades.
WUFT has published a follow-up article to explore the local evidence of our declining bird populations. Follow this link to read the article and view a video recorded on one of our Wednesday Walks.
