National Audubon Societies were borne out of Florida's dark past of supporting the slaughter of millions of birds for plumes that decorated women's apparel in the early 20th century. Audubon Florida has built a hundred-year legacy of bird protection throughout Florida. In the 21st century with a highly urbanized coastline and ever-greater human access to the coastal beaches that support beach-nesting and migratory birds continuing that protection is challenging. Find out - what works now andwhich challenges are most pressing? Abou t the Speaker: Dr. Marianne Korosy is Director of Bird Conservation for Audubon Florida.
