Audubon

United States

Audubon is a name associated with various entities in the United States, most notably the National Audubon Society. This American non-profit environmental organization was incorporated in 1905 and is dedicated to the conservation of birds and their habitats. It is recognized as one of the oldest organizations of its kind in the world.

The name Audubon refers to the 19th-century naturalist John James Audubon. Several independent societies, such as the Massachusetts Audubon Society, Indiana Audubon Society, and Connecticut Audubon Society, were founded several years prior to the national organization and share this namesake.
