A word from Kevin Fletcher, Ph.D. Executive Director, Audubon International Twenty years ago, the Audubon Society of New York State was born—or, perhaps more accurately, reborn. First established nearly 100 years earlier by conservation giants Theodore Roosevelt, Frank Chapman, and John Burroughs, this “original” Audubon group from New York ceased meeting by the mid-1930s. In 1987, the organization was re-established under a broader banner of environmental education, outreach, and sustainability. Very quickly, the reach of our environmental education and certification programs warranted a name change, to Audubon International. After more than twenty years of education, partnering, and cooperative action yielding real results, there is a lot to be proud of. Yet, the pace of change needs to be quickened. To help do just that, we are focusing our time and effort on four distinct areas: Through our Community Engagement, Planning, & Action Initiative we are helping community leaders and stakeholders to embrace environmental stewardship and sustainability as a central element of planning, policies, and practices—primarily through our Sustainable Communities Program for cities, towns, counties, and large-scale private developments and resort communities and our Green Neighborhoods Program for neighborhoods, community associations, and homeowner associations. Through our Eco-Design & Development Initiative we are leveraging innovation and best management practices to create models for the proper siting, design, construction, and management of new developments—through our Audubon Signature Program for new land developments and Audubon Classic Program for land development renovation projects. Through our Environmental Stewardship & Management Initiative we are fostering an ethic of environmental stewardship and help people improve the way they manage resources so that they make a positive difference in contributing to a more sustainable world. We are meeting this goal through our Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for businesses, municipal parks, and other properties, through our Audubon Greenleaf Eco-Rating Program for Hotels, and by engaging people of all ages to participate in environmental improvement projects through our Audubon Partners for the Environment. Finally, through our Golf & the Environment Initiative we are working to assist golf courses in becoming a valuable part of our conservation landscape, while building support for more eco-friendly golf throughout the golf industry. Our award-winning Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses educates golf course professionals and improves practices on the ground to help us meet the goals of this Initiative. These four “Initiatives” provide us with plenty of work and much reward. In the end, however, we rely on you and others like you to make real change happen in the places where you live, work, and play—through your support, involvement, and action. So, I invite you to learn more about Audubon International and what you can do to take action. Sincerely, |
