Background The National Audubon Society NAS grew out of concern over the widespread use of bird plumes in women s fashions in the late nineteenth century. Beginning in the late 1880 s several state and local Audubon societies were founded taking their name from famed painter John James Audubon whose art depicted more than one thousand bird species. By 1903 societies existed in thirty-seven states. Viewing wildlife as part of the country s heritage the societies united and founded a national office in 1905. The organization instituted a policy of educating the public and promoting awareness of the depletion of birds and other wildlife. Its successes include helping to preser ve whooping cranes flamingos and bald eagles. Impact on Resource Use During the mid-twentieth century the organization expanded its policy to promote awareness and protection of all natural resources including wildlife habitats. Through educational endeavors the NAS expanded into creating nature centers and reser ves that conferred renewed importance on their conservation cause. Aware of the importance of grassroots environmental efforts like those from which it had come the NAS adopted a new motto in the late 1970 s calling on citizens to Think Globally Act Locally. The idea spread and the phrase became a rallying cry for conser vation groups across the countr y. In the first decade of the twenty-first centur y the NAS focused on environmental issues such as global warming and continued to set up sanctuaries throughout the United States.
