Known from only two forests on the ridges of the east Andes, the Ochre-fronted Antipitta is a tiny, elusive, ground-dwelling bird. It's size & habitat make it a little-known species. One thing is certain, however. The forests the Ochre-fronted Antpitta calls home are threatened by climate change. That’s why Audubon is present at COP30, demonstrating how Audubon’s science, conservation work, & strategic partnerships can help solve the climate crisis.

Primatologist & anthropologist Jane Goodall lived an extraordinary life of observation, service, and activism. In 2012, Goodall was presented the first AAG Atlas Award during the Annual Meeting in D.C. We honor her contributions to geography and humanity. buff.ly/EjizLaN

Very proud that our @theAAG honored Jane Goodall with the prestigious Atlas Award in 2012.
Jane Goodall had a remarkable ability to inspire us to connect with the natural wonders of our world, and her groundbreaking work on primates and the importance of conservation opened doors for generations of women in science. Michelle and I are thinking of all those who loved and admired her.
