Birds, Science, and Solutions | Audubon

At this week’s IUCN World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi, Audubon brings its science, coverage experience, and hemispheric perspective to one of many world’s largest gatherings of conservation leaders. By collaborating, Audubon ensures that international decision-makers perceive sensible, science-based approaches connecting birds, habitats, and neighborhood priorities. 

A International Discussion board for Motion 

Subsequent week, greater than 10,000 representatives from governments, Indigenous Peoples’ organizations, NGOs, worldwide organizations, philanthropies, and the personal sector—together with the Nationwide Audubon Society—will meet in Abu Dhabi to handle biodiversity loss and local weather change, central priorities of Audubon’s Flight Plan. 

Held each 4 years, the Congress unites scientists, policymakers, implementers, and funders to collaborate on revolutionary options to pressing environmental challenges. This yr’s program facilities on 5 themes: 

• Scaling Up Resilient Conservation Motion 
• Decreasing Local weather Overshoot Dangers 
• Delivering on Fairness 
• Transitioning to Nature-Constructive Economies and Societies 
• Disruptive Innovation and Management for Conservation 

Delegates will have interaction in plenaries, panels, and aspect occasions, vote on motions shaping international conservation coverage, and take part in summits for youth, Indigenous Peoples, companies, and philanthropists. Past the formal periods, hallways and cafés will buzz with collaboration, partnerships, and problem-solving—all geared toward reversing biodiversity and local weather declines.

Hovering Seas: Seabirds and Rising Alternatives for Worldwide Marine Conservation 
Audubon workers, alongside Rafael Ângelo Revorêdo of the Centro de Estudos e Monitoramento Ambiental (CEMAM), will spotlight collaborative efforts to revive seabird populations throughout hemispheres. Attendees will see how many years of restoration work within the U.S. and Brazil present insights for resilient ecosystems and coordinated motion. Audio system embody Audubon’s Chris Dragisic, Bethany Kraft, Chad Wilsey, in addition to Rafael Ângelo Revorêdo of CEMAM.

It Begins With Birds: Local weather, Biodiversity, and Nature-Primarily based Options 
Audubon workers and companions will discover how local weather impacts species throughout the Americas and the way nature-based methods can strengthen ecosystems and communities. Contributors will learn the way science informs coverage, partnerships, and initiatives throughout continents. Audio system embody Audubon’s Chris Dragisic and Chad Wilsey, Chaz Colier from Seal River Watershed Alliance and Lesley Dickie from BirdLife Worldwide). 

Advancing Science Throughout Hemispheres 

The World Conservation Congress is about connection—between science, coverage, ecosystems, and communities. By means of its management and participation, Audubon highlights how analysis and sensible options can tackle advanced environmental challenges. By integrating views on species, habitats, and human communities, Audubon ensures these priorities affect motion at each scale.
