Last March, the New York City chapter of the Audubon Society voted to take flight from its past, shedding the name of John James Audubon – a figure intertwined with naturalist art and a legacy of white supremacy. In an effort to embrace inclusivity and reflect the diverse communities across the city, the organization is now looking for a new name. They’re also inviting all New Yorkers to be part of the change.

In this episode we dive into why this name change matters, the history behind it, and how it's shaping the future of bird conservation in New York City.
