| Conservation & Education Indian Nations Audubon Society is involved in important Oklahoma conservation and habitat issues. Below are current Oklahoma habitat protection issues involving our membership area. We encourage you to become involved in these and other issues to protect bird and wildlife habitat for future generations of Oklahomans. Conservation includes education. As part of this effort, Indian Nations Audubon Society places Audubon Adventures in grade school classrooms in our membership area. Audubon members speak to schools, Boy & Girl Scouts, and other youth groups about conservation and the natural heritage of Oklahoma. Members of Indian Nations Audubon Society have both state and nationally recognized expertise in avian species, avian ecology, ecosystems in general, and other wildlife. Some members have contributed to field guides, including Peterson's & Sibley's. Members have presented papers to, and been officers of, the Oklahoma Ornithological Society. Members are involved in avian research. Several Oklahoma habitat and conservation organizations rely on the expertise of our members to protect and preserve important ecosystems. |
