In June 1973, Audubon first combined translocation and social attraction to successfully bring a healthy population of Atlantic Puffins back to Maine’s coast. Now, 50 years later, we're celebrating the success and impact of this project on so many other seabird colonies. New research published in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences synthesizes 70 years of seabird restoration projects like Audubon's Project Puffin across 36 countries to show the effectiveness of restoring seabird populations worldwide. Read on for more about the study’s outcomes and the tool itself. Learn more |

Please urge your members of Congress to oppose efforts to remove the Lesser Prairie-Chicken from the Endangered Species Act. Take action |
