NYC Bird Alliance (formerly NYC Audubon) is a leading independent non-profit conservation organization with a 45-year legacy of championing nature in New York City's five boroughs. 

Through engaging programs and innovative conservation campaigns, we work tirelessly to protect over 300 species of birds and their habitats across 30,000 acres of urban wetlands, forests, and grasslands. While we often collaborate with the National Audubon Society and Audubon New York, we are an independent, separate non-profit organization.

NYC Bird Alliance works to protect birds through conservation science, engagement, and advocacy.  Our scientists work from the rooftops of Manhattan to the beaches of the Rockaways and the NY Harbor Island to enhance greenspace biodiversity, protect waterbirds, and reduce collision hazards for migratory birds. Our equity-focused public programs and community science volunteering invite New Yorkers to discover nature and birds in the City and inspire conservation action through advocacy efforts that make the city more sustainable for birds and people.
