“Get the animal lover in your life a gift that gives back this holiday season,” said Audubon Nature Institute President and CEO Ron Forman. “Whether gifting an Audubon Membership or shopping at our giftshops, these purchases help your animals continue to thrive and ensure their quality of life remains at the highest level.”
While Audubon’s doors were closed at times during COVID-19 and Hurricane Ida, Audubon never stopped providing outstanding care for its animals. Audubon is asking you to support the animals in their care by donating to the Audubon Recovery Fund.
Audubon provides top-notch veterinary care, the highest quality nutritious diets, and engaging activities for its animals. Audubon pays nearly $70,000 a month to feed animals such as giraffe, sea otters, sharks, lions, and gorillas. A gift to the Recovery Fund plays an important role in protecting these animals for future generations.
