The Founding of the Massachusetts Audubon Society
-
Description
-
The Audubon Society (first organized at the state level in Massachusetts in 1896, then nationally in 1905) organization remains at the forefront of conservation movements, intending to influence policymakers to pass key legislation. Most notably, the society helped pass the Audubon Plumage Law in 1910, the 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the Endangered Species Act in 1973, and the mammoth climate-change-focused Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. Audubon's work continues across the globe today in the forms of scientific research, policymaking, education, community engagement, and the conservation of 300 million acres of bird habitat.
