Visit the homepage of the newly redesigned National Audubon Society website! While still a work in progress, the big changes include:
- A clean, contemporary look;
- Content developed by one user will be easily accessible to others, so stories and engagement opportunities can be repeatedly placed where visitors are likely to find and use them;
- Visitors will be guided by site navigation reflecting their interests, rather than Audubon's internal structure;
- A home page featuring multiple prominent opportunities to support Audubon, to join or take action; it also provides an engaging platform for highlighting conservation results and initiatives;
- A new, and soon-to-expand, Birds section satisfying visitor expectations by providing easily accessible information. This area will soon be enhanced to provide Audubon-branded access to the digital content of the licensed Audubon Guides; and
- The ability to register to receive Audubon information via email will soon be added to the home page, as part a much broader expansion of Audubon's e-communication strategy.

The 2010 International Year of Biodiversity (IYB) is a special year declared by the UN General Assembly in recognition of the 2010 target to significantly reduce the rate of biodiversity loss worldwide. Migratory species and their habitats are increasingly threatened by habit loss, over-exploitation, pollution and climate change. Biodiversity and ecosystem services are vital for the well being of human society and long term prosperity, but consequences of its loss are yet not fully understood.
