Audubon Nature Institute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Audubon Nature Institute is family of museums and parks dedicated to nature based in New Orleans, Louisiana. It consists of the Audubon Zoo, Aquarium of the Americas, Audubon Louisiana Nature Center, Audubon Park, Woldenberg Riverfront Park, Freeport-McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center, Entergy IMAX® Theatre, Audubon Center for Research of Endangered Species (ACRES), Audubon Wilderness Park, and Audubon Insectarium (opening Fall 2007).
The institute was the executive producer of "Hurricane on the Bayou,"[1], an IMAX film released in 2007. [2]
The institute is no longer a part of the National Wetlands Coalition, but it is a "cooperating organization" with America's Wetland Campaign,[2] which is sponsored by British Gas, Citgo, ConocoPhillips, and other energy companies.[1]
