New Audubon PicWhat do street art prodigy <a href="http://www.boykongart.com/">Boy Kong</a>, The Office’s Kate Flannery, and the founders of a leading geographic information systems software all have in common? They all came out for <a href="http://www.audubon.org/">The National Audubon Society</a>’s annual gala last month at <a href="http://www.theplazany.com/">the Plaza Hotel</a> and helped raise over $1.2 million for the organization's work protecting endangered bird species. The event was a who’s who of environmental leaders, and was attended by over 350 supporters. Inhabitat was on the scene as some of the nation's top conservationists were honored for their outstanding achievements and commitment to the environment.1
