Grants to this Grantee
for a sagebrush convening  
The nonprofit National Audubon Society protects birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow, throughout the Americas, using science, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation. This grant supports ongoing education of the public and policymakers about sagebrush and the greater sage-grouse, a bird that is recognized as an indicator species of the ecological integrity of the sagebrush ecosystem. Consistent with the Western Conservation grantmaking strategy’s attention to the biodiversity of the North American West, conserving the sagebrush ecosystem, which spans 14 states, benefits more than 350 species of plants and animals. This grant supports a public convening of sagebrush stakeholders. (Substrategy: Advance Conservation Protections)

for support of the Regional Integrated Sagebrush Campaign project  
Sage-grouse populations have been declining throughout their range due to habitat loss associated with oil and gas development, exurban development, and competition from invasive species. This renewal grant would support National Audubon’s efforts to seek habitat protections needed by sage-grouse to survive across seven states in the West. Audubon will employ scientific analysis of the habitat needs of sage-grouse and pursue outreach to decision makers, the public, industry, and the ranching community in support of sage-grouse conservation.
