MATCH CHALLENGE Your First Annual Gift Matched, Up To $5,000 Match Challenge Deadline: Midnight Tonight Donate Now Dear KAREN, As climate change continues to increase sea-level rise and intensify extreme weather, habitats that birds and other wildlife depend on will grow more inhospitable.

When you start an annual donation for birds now, thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift will be matched up to $5,000 to protect them and the world we all share. Will you join us before midnight? Your annual gift will renew automatically each year, providing uninterrupted resources our teams can depend on in their work year after year.

Birds can't escape the impacts of extreme weather

The Piping Plover is an endangered or threatened species in all parts of their range.

389 North American bird species are at increasing risk of climate extinction.

We've lost 3 billion birds in the span of a human lifetime.

For birds like the Piping Plover, the Least Tern, the Black Skimmer, and the American Oystercatcher, sea-level rise and nest washouts from storms and flooding are existential threats. Yet the story of the Piping Plover also proves that where there is action, there is hope: In recent years, they have returned to nest in several sites they had previously abandoned. And research shows that our coastal stewardship is key to this recovery. It comes down to this: Where we work—and when you power this work with generous giving—birds are better off. We're counting on your steadfast support to protect birds and the places they need—not just today, but tomorrow, too. So please, start your annual recurring donation before midnight and get your first gift matched to safeguard birds and the places they need. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
