The Audubon Mural Project is a public art initiative of the National Audubon Society, in partnership with the Harlem-based Gitler & ____ Gallery. 
 
The project is inspired by the paintings of John James Audubon and is energized by findings from the National Audubon Society that nearly half of all North American bird species face dire threats to their survival by 2080 due to climate change. The Audubon Mural Project commissions artists to paint murals of each of the threatened birds—a total of 314 species—currently concentrated in the Hamilton Heights and Washington Heights neighborhoods of Manhattan, with more murals planned around the City.
 
NYC Audubon offers monthly guided walking tours in Upper Manhattan to see these breathtaking murals and discuss their significance. Guided tours will also discuss John James Audubon’s racist legacy and its implications for the important mission of NYC Audubon (and other Audubon entities) to engage all New Yorkers in conservation.
