| At this year’s Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, Audubon is calling on world leaders to take swift, meaningful, and collaborative action to protect natural ecosystems, defend biodiversity, and implement an inclusive and just climate transition. Forests, wetlands, and peatlands are central to both climate mitigation and adaptation. If these priority landscapes are strategically restored and maintained, they will not only serve as safe havens for myriad bird species, but can double their capacities as natural carbon sinks.

| Now that the election is over, the current Congress will be returning for a “Lame Duck” session next week, and Audubon is working for the passage of several priority bills. Among them: The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (RAWA), which helps states and tribal nations protect bird and wildlife species of greatest conservation need. Audubon members have sent more than 100,000 messages to their Members of Congress in support of the bill. The House passed RAWA in June, and now we need to get it across the finish line. Stay tuned for an alert next week. |
