On World Water Day, Audubon has identified the most important places for birds and people from Missouri to the Gulf Coast.
This World Water Day, Audubon is launching a new initiative in the Lower Mississippi River region, identifying nearly 50 million acres across multiple states as the most important places for birds and people.
From Missouri to the Gulf of Mexico, climate change is bringing extreme weather that threatens the birds and people that call this region home. The forests, wetlands, floodplains, and barrier islands that have historically buffered communities in this region from storms and flooding are rapidly disappearing.
