Audubon Magazine

INBOX

Metal Revival • As clean-energy technology spurs demand for minerals, can natural treasures like Alaska’s Bristol Bay survive unscathed?

Rapid Response • With the Bahamas still reeling after record-breaking Hurricane Dorian, scientists and park managers went to assess losses—a mission that’s becoming all too familiar.

Fresh Water in Flux • The Great Lakes could rise and fall to new extremes as climate change worsens, so conservationists are creating safe harbors for birds.

THE NATURE ANTIDOTE • Even small doses of green space bring health benefits—restoring not just your body but your mental well-being, too.

THE BIRDS SAVED DEBI. IS SHE REALLY CALLING IT QUITS? • Debi Shearwater transformed the pelagic birding world and became a force for avian conservation. After 40-plus years of leading sold-out tours off the California coast, the trailblazer says it’s time to retire.
