Conservation Education

Our mission is to conserve and restore natural ecosystems, focusing on birds, wildlife and habitats for the benefit of humanity and the Earth's biological diversity. Education is a primary goal of Audubon New Mexico and the Randall Davey Audubon Center and Sanctuary. Our staff of environmental educators strives to promote awareness of the interrelationship between people, land, and wildlife through environmental education at our 135-acre wildlife sanctuary nestled in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and state wide.

Birds of New Mexico

With about 500 different birds on New Mexico's state bird list--one of the highest--it should come as no surprise that there are a lot of favorite places to see birds in our state!
