A new study strongly links declining duck numbers with climate change.
Our new 10,000 sq ft home located in the Granite Mountain Community of south east Little Rock, will house the Audubon state headquarters, a 100-seat community room as well as a technology and field science lab for students. The 425-acre campus (Gillam Park) will provide plenty of room for hands-on environmental studies. The staff will be moving our programs there in mid-September, 2009.
If you would like a tour of the center or more information on making a gift to support the center, contact Ellen Fennell via email or call 501-244-2229.
An 18,000 acre tract of contiguous, relatively undisturbed bottomland hardwood forest, the Little River Bottoms IBA is one of the most biologically diverse ecologically sensitive areas in Arkansas. Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) is building a 600-megawatt coal-fired power plant in close proximity to the bottoms. Besides being enormously expensive for SWEPCO customers, the plant will produce 6 million tons of carbon dioxide and emit sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and mercury – all of which threaten the health of both birds and humans.
