Audubon Nature Institute

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 the Audubon Insectarium.

The institute was the executive producer of "Hurricane on the Bayou",[1] an IMAX film released on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall in 2006.[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, Shell Oil and other leading energy companies.[1]
