The 2023 Texas legislature has convened, and a question nags: are birds political animals? Texas’s birds will be relying on Audubon Texas and our partners to represent them.

We protect and manage colonial waterbird populations in every major bay system on the Texas Gulf Coast, identify and conserve the most important sites for birds statewide, and we have built a legacy of conservation success by mobilizing the strength of our network of members, chapters, Audubon centers, and dedicated professional staff to connect people with nature and the power to protect it. A powerful combination of science, education, and policy expertise combine in efforts ranging from protection and restoration of local habitats to the implementation of policies that safeguard birds, other wildlife, and the resources that sustain us all.
Conservation Wrangler is an accelerator program, with Texan by Nature, that supports projects having a positive impact on people, prosperity, and natural resources.
