A local ordinance passed in Lake County, Illinois, is taking aim at one of the most worrying threats to declining birds: collisions with glass windows. The rule follows two years of collaboration between the county and American Bird Conservancy through an initiative by a local bird conservation advocate.

The next Audubon Leadership Conference is scheduled for July 17-20, 2025, in Montreal, Canada. This out-of-country location reflects Audubon’s shift to a hemispheric approach to conservation, and the conference will be a gathering of leaders from across Audubon’s community of staff, partners, and campus and community chapters. The conference is designed to connect conservation leaders around the hemisphere with each other in an environment that facilitates learning and innovation.
