Oil and Birds Press Room
As the leading authority on bird conservation in the United States and beyond, Audubon was the first NPO to have volunteers at work on the Gulf after the spill hit in 2010, and continues to demand action to restore the Gulf, the Mississippi Delta, and protect other regions such as Alaska and the Arctic from such disasters.

Big Oil's Arctic Bet: A Fool’s Risk
Audubon President David Yarnold posted this on The Huffington Post this week:
“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” We’ve all heard it – and lived it – as individuals and collectively as Americans.
