| Part X, Line 2: | The Institute is exempt from income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the Institute qualifies for the charitable contribution deductions under Section 170(b)(1)(a)(vi) and has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under Section 509(a)(2). Any unrelated business income may be subject to taxation. The Institute's significant sources of business income include sales of certain items from the gift shops, golf course income and certain rental of facilities and services provided for rentals. Income taxes for unrealted business income were approximately $43,000 and $124,695 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an entity in its tax returns that might be uncertain. The Institute believes that it has taken appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and management has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. Penalties and interest assessed by income taxing authorities, if any, would be included in income tax expense. |

| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: | Audubon Nature Institute operates a family of museums and parks dedicated to nature on behalf of the City of New Orleans. Facilities include Audubon Zoo, Audubon Aquarium, Audubon Insectarium, Audubon Louisiana Nature Center, Audubon Park, Woldenberg Riverfront Park, Audubon Wilderness Park and Freeport-McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center. There are eight basic tenets of Audubon Nature Institute's mission statement that guide decisions at all facilities. The tenets are as follows: Provide a guest experience of outstanding quality, exhibit diversity of wildlife, preserve native Louisiana habitats, educate our diverse audience about the natural world, enhance the care and survival of wildlife through research and conservation, provide opportunities for recreation in natural settings, operate a financially self-sufficient collection of museums and parks, and weave quality entertainment through the guest experience. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | Audubon Aquarium welcomes two endangered African penguin chicks. Chicks Calypso and Gouda joined the rest of the Aquarium's colony and added to the population of these critically endangered birds. Native to the southern coast of Africa, they are the most endangered penguin species, threatened by oil spills, overfishing, and habitat loss. Audubon was busy in 2024 preparing for initial construction on Riverfront for All, a visioinary project that will forever change the Mississippi Riverfront in downtown New Orleans, creating uninterrupted pedestrian and bicycle access across 2.25 miles of contiguous riverfront. Audubon Zoo received a Certificate of Accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. The Zoo was examined by the nation's leading experts and determined to meet the world's most exacting standards for animal welfare, husbandry, veterinary care, safety, staffing, conservation, education, and more. The Zoo has been accredited by the AZA for 48 consecutive years. Audubon Louisiana Nature Center was the kickoff location for the annual Party for the Planet presented by Entergy series of events desgined to connect people with nature. Guests took advantage of the spring weather to stroll boardwalks and experience the newly reopened Planetarium with its variety of programming. The newly formed Conservation Committee is coordinating conservation grants and encouraging participation across Audubon. In 2024, Audubon funded 16 new staff conservation projects across four continents, including work with native prairie seeds, Jamaican iguana, and coral surveying. Audubon also participates in a variety of AZA SAFE (Savings Animals from Extinction) programs for species in our collection, including African penguin, Asian elephant, ocelot, orangutan, North American songbird, Perdido Key beach mouse, sea turtle, and whooping crane. USA Today readers voted for their favorite North American AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums-facilities that excel in the fields of animal care and enrichment, while also facilitating meaningful interactions between animals and human visitors. The Aquarium ranked #2 and the Zoo ranked #7 among 20 nominees. Woldenberg Riverfront Park was nominated in the USA Today Reader's Choice voting for the first time and came in #2 most popular riverwalk in the country. Audubon Aquarium Rescue (formerly Audubon Coastal Wildlife Network) serves as Louisiana's primary marine mammal and sea turtle stranding responder and the only permitted marine mammal and sea turtle rehabilitation facility in the state. AAR responded to 54 strandings and took in 16 cold-stunned sea turtles flown to New Orleans for extended rehabilitation after they were found off the coast of Massachusetts. AAR also released 1 Kemp's ridley sea turtle. AAR also conducted stranding surveys in the stranding hotspots of Grand Isle and southwest Louisiana. Coupled with public reporting, these surveys are important in gathering data to determine the most accurate picture of strandings in Louisiana. Audubon's Gulf United for Lasting Fisheries continued to support the Gulf of Mexico fishing industry in demonstrating and improving their sustainability. GULF assisted the U.S. Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery for all five Gulf states and federal waters in achieving Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) Certification. This is the first shrimp fishery certified to the RFM Standard which includes criteria including fisheries management, stock assessment activities, and serious impacts of the fishery on the ecosystem. Freeport-McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center continued successful recovery efforts, including working with partners to add five whooping cranes to White Lake Wetlands Conservation Area as part of an ongoing effort to protect this endangered species from extinction. Six Mississippi Sandhill Crane chicks hatched at the westbank facility were successfully relocated to the Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge in Gauthier, Mississippi. Audubon Learning & Engagement held Audubon Aquarium's first summer camp since its 1990 opening for campers ages 7-10. Each week, campers learned about undersea and native Louisiana ecosystems and animals and participated in STEM activities and crafts. Audubon's Youth Volunteer Program had more than 75 volunteers through two programs: Counselor-in-Training (CIT) and Conservation Krewe. CITs assisted with camps and the Nature at Night series. Conservation Krewe assisted with guest interpretation across Audubon Zoo, Audubon Aquarium, and Audubon Insectarium. Several Krewe volunteers also participated in advanced placement roles, working directly with Zoo animal staff. This was the second year of Audubon's Wild Encounters, behind-the-scenes experiences at Audubon Zoo, Audubon Aquarium, and Audubon Insectarium. Nearly 2,300 guests enjoyed Wild Encounters at Audubon including Penguin Party, Maya Snorkel, Butterfly First Flight, Orangutan Family Fun, Sea Lion Splash, Jammin' with Jaguar, Aldabra Tortoise, and Black Bear Bonanza. Guests were able to meet animal staff, learn about animals and participate in animal feedings or enrichment activities. Audubon continued its Community Connect access initiative in 2024, which involves three components. Orleans Parish Appreciation Days offer free admission for Orleans Parish residents on a rotating schedule; the Audubon SNAP Program provides free admission for SNAP benefit recipients and their families; and the Audubon Museum Culture Pass allows Orleans Parish Public Library cardholders to check out admission passes. In 2024, Community Connect made it possible for more than 97,000 community members to visit Audubon attractions. Through the Taylor Scholars Awards Program, more than 240,000 high-achieving students in grades 6 through 12 statewide received free Audubon admission passes as part of the ongoing initiative established by the Patrick F. Taylor Foundation to reward Louisiana students' hard work. Scales & Ales, the evening fundraising event for Audubon Aquarium and Audubon Insectarium premiered an exciting and unique Aquarium exhibit called Deep Dive into the Gulf, an immersive exploration of life in the twilight and midnight zones of the Gulf of Mexico and the mesophotic and deep benthic coral communities that live there. The exhibit was made possible through a grant from the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation with funding to restore natural resources injured by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill from the DWH Open Ocean Trustees. Audubon's social media initiatives continue to grow, adding fans, friends, and followers daily. At year end, Audubon's social media network included 780,460 followers and more than 100 million impressions on Facebook, Twitter (X), Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok. |
