| Abstract/Contents: | "Audubon International now has 2,200 golf courses enrolled in its Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System (ACSS) programs for golf courses, providing education and assistance to promote environmental stewardship, conservation of biodiversitty, and sustainability in resource management. At FY 1999-2000 end, membership in the Audubon Cooperative Santuary Program for Golf Courses has risen to 2,129 existing courses. Over the year, member courses earned 480 certificates of achievement in specific subject areas; 47 were certified as Audubon Cooperative Sanctuaries, bringing the total to 239. The Audubon Signature Cooperative Sanctuary Program, for golf courses under development, enrolled 11 new members, for a total of 70. The number certified Audubon Signature Cooperative Sanctuaries rose by four, to 19, during the year. In this fiscal year, Audubon International also hosted the 4th Annual North American Bird Watching Open on golf courses and conducted its first Managed Lands Survery, gathering data on the impact of program participation in key environmental priority subjects and participant attitudes about the effects of participation. Audubon International staff educated 2,500 people through seminars and lectures over the course of the fiscal year. In addition, this year Audubon International expanded the educational materials available for golf course environmental stewardship. Its President and CEO, Ron Dodson, published the book Managing Wildlife Habitat on Golf Courses. Audubon International developed an Environmental Performance Audit suitable for use in educating golf course superintendents on environmental stewardship, then, with USGA funding and in cooperation with Club Managers Association of America, expanded that tool into a comprehensive Environmental Performance Audit for Clubs. The Audubon International Institute developed new Sustainable Resource Management Guidelines and a Rapid Habitat Assessment protocol to help in protecting natural resources at Audubon Signature Program member sites. Over this year Audubon International also worked in collaberative efforts with many other organizations, including overseeing research on golf and the environment, producing materials to improve golfer environmental education, developing the international Valderama Declaration to promote environmentally responsible golf course management, and development of informational materials for public officals for environmental review of new golf courses. It also facilitated conservation partnerships between a number of Signature Program member courses and colleges and universities." |
