  • Audubon Nature Institute 2016
    CONSERVATION Celebrating Audubon Nature Institute Each day, our partners here at the Wonders home and around the globe of Nature work with us on fulfilling our 2016 shared goals. All eight objectives of the Audubon Nature Institute mission have conservation at their core, particularly our pledges to preserve native Louisiana habitats and to enhance the care and survival of wildlife through research and conservation. That’s why we wanted to show you the scope of Audubon’s conservation commitment through this report. These projects are top of mind for us every day, and we work on them together—donors, members, guests, employees, and peer organizations around the world. From the smallest act of recycling a piece of paper to multi-national coalitions saving species oceans away, we know we must keep pushing forward. The stakes are high, and together, we are making progress.

  • Audubon Nature Institute Board Handbook Overview
    Audubon Nature Institute Board Handbook Overview Audubon Nature Institute Board This Board oversees the Audubon Nature Institute, the 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation currently managing the day to day operations for all of the Commission’s facilities through a management contract between the Board and the Audubon Commission. All employees work for the Audubon Nature Institute, Inc. Elected by the 30,000 membership households of Audubon Nature Institute, at least 75% of the Institute’s 32 Board members live in Orleans Parish and at least 25% of them are minorities. Members are elected for no more than two consecutive four-year terms. Funds generated by the Institute’s operations and fund raising efforts are administered by the Institute. Certified audited statements of the Audubon Nature Institute are provided to the Audubon Commission on an annual basis. Introduction Innovation is second nature at Audubon Nature Institute. As one of the first to adopt a non-profit model for self-generated operating funds, Audubon Nature Institute proved how successful that business model could be, setting a standard followed by zoos across the country to this day. Audubon drove the campaign to renovate the New Orleans riverfront, opening up previously neglected property and creating public spaces cherished by locals and visitors alike. Today Audubon champions the idea of family tourism in New Orleans, traditionally considered an adults-only destination, with a group of highly-regarded public attractions where families spend time together and learn about nature. Through award-winning conservation programs, Audubon helps save species, supporting both in-situ endeavors and captive breeding programs for many animals.

  • Transforming Donors Into Partners Aza.Org/Transforming-Donors-Into-Partners
    Transforming Donors into Partners aza.org/transforming-donors-into-partners By Lani McWilliams In March 2019, staff at Audubon Nature Institute in New Orleans, La., met with a team of architects to dream of the next phase of Africa at Audubon Zoo. Not long into the meeting, the lead architect interjected with, “We’ve heard from your CEO and several staff about the kids next door. We fully understand that we need to think about incorporating views for Children’s Hospital patients into any new giraffe habitat.” As Audubon Zoo’s next-door neighbor in Uptown New Orleans, Children’s Hospital New Orleans is now a primary audience we consider in internal discussions ranging from inclusion, to guest experiences, to mission integration in visitation-driving initiatives, to habitat design. The vice presidents of development for both organizations speak frankly about goals, needs, cross-over, and opportunities to collaborate and leverage both our missions and brands. Children’s Hospital is a not-for-profit pediatric medical center—the only full-service hospital exclusively for children in Louisiana and the Gulf South. For more than 20 years, Children’s Hospital and Audubon Zoo have partnered on “Boo at the Zoo,” a safe, spooky trick-or-treat fundraiser to benefit both non-profit organizations. Held on Zoo grounds, the event is planned and produced jointly by both organizations’ marketing teams. It is a successful event sponsorship, and we could have stopped there. In 2017, John R. Nickens IV, the Hospital’s new president and chief executive officer, arrived with a vision to shift from being a destination for sick children to a key partner in childhood and wellness journeys.

One reason for interest in releasing red wolves on the island is to control raccoons and hogs, which predate sea turtle and ground nesting bird eggs and young. However, the island is smaller than other islands used and has a more restrioted prey base for red wohes, consisting apparently of the raccoon population that has bee,n reduced to be,nefit sea turtles and the small hog population.
