An unmissable match to protect birds

Rufous Hummingbird.

2X Match active. Double your giving before midnight!

MATCH CHALLENGE Your first annual gift MATCHED, Up to $75,000 287 donors needed today Donate Dear KAREN, More than half of U.S. bird species are in decline. And the news is even worse for the Rufous Hummingbird and 69 other species that have been identified as birds at a "tipping point": They've lost 50% or more of their populations in the past 50 years and are facing the same in the coming decades. Without swift conservation action, these birds are on track for a devastating future. But there's still time to give birds the protection they need. Bring birds back from the brink with your urgently-needed annual donation. The first gift of your new annual sustaining gift will be matched by a group of generous donors, up to $75,000. But hurry! This special offer ends at midnight tonight.

Birds are at a tipping point

More than 3 billion birds lost in the past 50 years.

70+ species of birds have lost at least half of their populations in the past 50 years.

Climate-intensified natural disasters and human-caused habitat loss continue to worsen.

There's no time to waste as two thirds of North American bird species are threatened with increasing risk of extinction—not when we have the power to reverse course for birds like the glittering Rufous Hummingbird right now. And your generous annual donation to Audubon gives all birds the best chance at preservation. With your support, Audubon will continue securing the spaces, clean air, and clean water that birds and people need to live and thrive. You fuel our robust advocacy efforts to ensure important state and federal protections for birds and their habitats are expanded and strengthened. And you power our on-the-ground efforts to help birds recover, flourish, and take flight. It's because of generous people like you, KAREN, that birds have a fighting chance for a better future. Start a gift that renews automatically each year and gives birds dependable protection. Please don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to double your impact for birds—make your annual gift now and your first contribution will be matched! Sincerely, National Audubon Society
