Fight Climate Change

Why Fighting Climate Change Matters

The world desperately needs immediate, decisive action to respond to the climate crisis. Climate change threatens every aspect of Mass Audubon’s mission: the wildlife we protect, the land we steward, the biodiversity we treasure, and the communities we serve.

What We're Doing to Fight Climate Change

As the state’s largest conservation organization—one that engages hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors annually—we have an opportunity, and an obligation, to harness these voices to advocate passionately on behalf of nature.
