Birds need people willing to speak up for them.
Birders in Action.
Use your outside voice.
Birds can't speak at public hearings, submit comments, or contact elected officials. We can. Birders in Action connects the Denver Audubon community with timely opportunities to advocate for birds, wildlife, and the places they need to thrive.

Current Actions
Stay up to date on legislation affecting Colorado's birds and their habitats.
Vote NO on Amendment 83
Colorado voters will consider Amendment 83 this November. Denver Audubon opposes the amendment because we believe decisions about wildlife management should remain grounded in science, professional wildlife management, and established public processes.
Protect Colorado's Birds, Wildlife, and Waterways from Toxic Pesticides
Neonicotinoids (neonics) are systemic pesticides that broadly target insects, including pollinators, and are highly toxic to birds. American Bird Conservancy is calling on the public to urge Colorado lawmakers to enact restrictions on the use of neonicotinoid-treated agricultural seeds.
Take Action for Grassland Birds
Habitat loss has contributed to steep declines in grassland bird species. The RANCH Act would help America's farmers and ranchers convert marginal cropland to productive forage with grasses and flowering plants that support livestock while creating vital habitat for birds and other wildlife. The National Audubon Society is calling on the public to urge US Senators to pass the RANCH Act.
