Southwestern New Mexico Audubon Society is changing its name to Bird Alliance of Southwestern New Mexico. With a majority of member support, the local chapter of the National Audubon Society is joining other chapters from around the state and country in selecting a name that highlights collective efforts to work on behalf of birds and preserve their habitats.
Following a year-long conversation about John James Audubon's legacy and the harm and barriers his name created, the local SWNM Audubon Board members unanimously supported a name change, bringing this proposal to chapter members for a vote.
