Issues and Policy

---

Audubon North Carolina works for science-based policies protecting our forests, wetlands, rivers, coast and other important areas so that our natural heritage will be preserved for generations to come. Our approaches to this work emphasize collaborations with other conservation groups, land trusts, government, industry, and private citizens. As a state office of the National Audubon Society, we seek to connect our 10,000 grassroots members to larger state and national networks pursuing environmental protection.

• The Important Bird Areas (IBAs) of North Carolina provide the focal points for our policy efforts and conserving and defending these vital areas remain our highest priority.

• One of our focus areas at the moment is protecting Cape Hatteras National Seashore, an IBA.

• Current general policy topics we are engaged in include Wind Power.
