What is Audubon Colorado Doing?

Audubon works closely with our environmental and clean energy colleagues to educate and mobilize our network throughout the west to advocate for global warming and resource protection solutions. Our Colorado campaign:

• Focuses on solutions for Colorado;
• Develops and distributes educational, media and outreach materials that highlight the impacts of global warming on western ecosystems, the conservation benefits of addressing global warming and the ways to reduce emissions while protecting western resources;
• Works with the Audubon grassroots network to expand the public education and activist network;
• Develops a menu of policy, personal and business action options for all levels of government, education programs, faith-based organizations and agricultural groups, and other organizations and associations;
• Partners with renewable energy groups to educate wildlife advocates about the role of renewable energy in addressing global warming and develop common strategies for expanding renewable energy in the west while protecting wildlife and habitat;
• Helps develop and support strategies to encourage farmland, forest, grassland and other conservation and carbon sequestration efforts in the western U.S.;
• Promotes responsible oil and gas development, including the proposed rules from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Committee;
• Supports implementation of Governor Bill Ritter’s Climate Action Plan
