Birds are not only beautiful and fascinating creatures, but they are also essential to balanced and healthy ecosystems. Despite their importance, bird populations across the United States have faced a staggering decline in the last 50 years. Join Amber Leung of Houston Audubon as she delves into the factors driving this decline and explores how we can make a difference. Whether you live in an urban area, suburban neighborhood, or rural setting, there are practical steps you can take to create bird-friendly environments. Anyone can play a role in safeguarding these vital creatures for future generations. Amber will equip you with the knowledge and tools to attract and support native birds wherever you live, work, and play, ensuring that their songs and presence remain a cherished part of our world for years to come.

Amber Leung is the Nature Programs Manager for Houston Audubon. She teaches about birds and the rest of the natural world at the Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary in Houston. Her love for the natural world was nurtured from an early age through camping and hiking adventures with her family in Austin. Her passion for birding took flight during a Coastal Ornithology course while pursuing a BS in Marine Sciences at Texas A&M University in Galveston. In 2015, Amber became a certified Texas Master Naturalist and went on to serve two terms as president of the Coastal Prairie Chapter. She is deeply committed to promoting the importance of all aspects of a healthy ecosystem, particularly those that are often overlooked. In her free time, Amber enjoys cultivating her own native plant garden, creating wildlife-inspired art, and immersing herself in nature, where she delights in observing birds and reptiles.

Please join Houston Audubon at 6:45 pm at the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center for a meet-and-greet and some light snacks; the presentation will begin at 7pm.
