The 2008 Audubon of Kansas publication highlights critical conservation battles and advocacy efforts across the state. A major focus is on resisting the forced eradication of prairie dogs in Logan County, which threatens Black-footed Ferret reintroduction efforts and the broader prairie ecosystem. The publication also details AOK’s longstanding leadership in prairie conservation, including efforts to prevent industrial wind energy developments from fragmenting intact grasslands vital to Prairie Chickens. Additionally, AOK has been instrumental in advocating for prairie-friendly roadside management with the Kansas Department of Transportation, promoting native vegetation and reduced mowing to enhance biodiversity.
