Jennifer Pitt

Jennifer Pitt leads Audubon’s strategies to protect and restore rivers throughout the Colorado River Basin. As a senior member of the team she mentors staff in a number of Audubon’s regional offices. She seeks to improve river and water management for habitats and communities excluded from consideration in the 19th century legal framework and 20th century infrastructure that shapes the Colorado River Basin today. Jennifer leads the United States–Mexico collaboration to restore the long-desiccated Colorado River Delta. She serves as the U.S. co-chair of the bi-national work group that implements treaty commitments to environmental flows and habitat creation, a program that benefits nearly 400 bird species and more than one million Mexicali Valley residents who live in a desiccated river delta.
