The 2004 Audubon of Kansas publication highlights key conservation efforts and policy challenges, including opposition to large-scale wind energy development in the Flint Hills to protect critical prairie habitats and wildlife. It discusses efforts to safeguard Whooping Cranes from expanded Sandhill Crane hunting and explores broader prairie conservation initiatives, stewardship programs for Prairie Chickens, and international conservation partnerships. The publication also covers wildlife watching, birding events, and the historical significance of Kansas landscapes, including reflections on the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Through advocacy, education, and collaboration, Audubon of Kansas continues to work toward preserving the state’s natural heritage.
