Celebrating the Wonders of Nature Celebrating the Wonders 2 Teaching A bright and very chilly day along the Mississippi River started the year off for us at Audubon Nature Institute. On that day, we gathered with colleagues from San Diego Zoo Global for a ceremonial groundbreaking at Alliance for Sustainable Wildlife at Freeport- McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center. We didn’t mind the cold at all, because we were doing exactly what we love to do—working to save wildlife.

In this Audubon Nature Institute Annual Report, we’ll tell you about a long list of projects we worked on in 2014, beginning with that memorable day. By the end of the year, we had delightful surprises in store for you all across our attractions, as well as meaningful enhancements to our education and conservation efforts.

Your support during 2014 helped Audubon Nature Institute give back to our community in many ways all year long. Great Maya Reef opened at Audubon Aquarium of the Americas. Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium continued to reap rave reviews. The Audubon Zoo collection grew with significant births and acquisitions. Much-anticipated projects moved toward completion. Demolition began on Audubon Louisiana Nature Center as we started bringing this New Orleans treasure back for you. We’ll tell you about all these projects and more in the pages to follow.

Audubon Nature Institute is all of us. Together we work to create beautiful experiences and memories for our families and for the children who visit us from near and far. As you read through this report, you’ll see that with all the progress we made this past year, the years ahead are poised to be even more exciting. This incredible journey is only possible because of you.

As always, thank you for everything you do for Audubon Nature Institute, and for being part of the Audubon Nature Institute family.

Reaching Out

Education initiatives at Audubon wereTeach bursting with energy in 2014. New Vice-President of Education David Niebuhr centralized Audubon’s education efforts, combining the department’s considerable expertise. This meant that educators from all Audubon attractions could become even more fluent in each other’s programming, benefitting children and families who love learning at Audubon and strengthening Audubon’s important education outreach.
