Riverside habitats like the forests and wetlands that line the Colorado River support some of the most abundant and diverse bird communities in the arid West, serving as home to some 400 species. The Colorado also provides drinking water for more than 36 million people, irrigates 5.5 million acres of farms and ranches, and supports 16 million jobs throughout seven states (and Northwest Mexico), with a combined annual economic impact of $1.4 trillion. With drought, diversions, and climate change threatening the river, Audubon’s Colorado River Program Director Jennifer Pitt will tell us about Audubon’s work, and future opportunities to protect the river for birds and people.
