*Why is our mission so important?

The State of Connecticut is experiencing a serious decline in bird populations, both numbers of individuals and species. Birds have long been considered excellent "indicator" species (remember the canary in the coal mine?) so a strong case can be made that general environmental conditions, which affect all of us, are declining as well.

The decline in Connecticut’s birds is in large part a result of habitat loss and fragmentation, and other specific man-made threats. Connecticut Audubon Society is the only statewide conservation organization devoted solely to the birds and bird habitats of this State. Your annual support helps to drive our science-based conservation, education and advocacy programs. And given current cutbacks in education and conservation funding at all levels of government, the programs and services we provide to elementary and middle schools are more important now than ever.

With over 50 education animals to feed and house, 2,600 acres of wildlife habitat to manage in our 19 sanctuaries, and tens of thousands of children and adults to educate at our five Centers and in hundreds of classrooms, your gift will be used wisely with 81% of all funds raised going directly to programs.**
