KAREN, a code-red crisis is unfolding before our eyes: Since 1970, we’ve lost three billion birds—one in every four—and the latest data from the 2025 State of the Birds report shows these declines are continuing across all habitats. 112 bird species, including the endangered Spotted Owl, are at a “Tipping Point,” having lost 50% or more of their populations in the past 50 years.

With their very survival threatened, birds are relying on your steadfast support more than ever. Will you join us with a monthly gift now ahead of Earth Day? Thanks to generous donors, your first gift could be matched up to $400,000 for birds in need—but only until midnight tomorrow!

Birds are already suffering from the effects of human impacts—effects that will only intensify unless we change course. But there’s hope in action, and we have practical, effective solutions. And with caring friends like you by our side, we’re making an impact: Restoring and improving the resilience of important landscapes, successfully advocating for climate legislation at the state and federal level, transforming communities into places where birds flourish, and securing space, clean air, and clean water that birds and people need to live and thrive.
It comes down to this: Where we work—and when you help—birds are better off. Please start your monthly contribution before midnight tomorrow and your first gift could be matched, up to $400,000, to make 2X the impact.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society

Rufous Hummingbird.

2X Match Active [Double Your Impact]
Tomorrow is Earth Day, a day to honor and strengthen our resolve to preserve the precious planet we all share. But with one-third of U.S. birds including the beloved Rufous Hummingbird in need of urgent conservation action, we’re not waiting to act—and you shouldn’t either.

When you start your monthly donation today, your first gift could be matched, up to $400,000, thanks to a group of generous donors. Soar to birds’ defense this Earth Day and make 2X the impact.

If climate change continues unchecked, 70% of the Rufous Hummingbird’s current breeding range could be lost. These beloved birds are at their tipping point—but together, we’ve shown that there is hope in action, and we have practical, effective solutions. With more than 120 years of conservation expertise under our wing, we're addressing both the impacts of climate change and its causes by working to increase the resilience of birds and important habitats, while also fighting for cleaner energy and reduced carbon emissions.
But just how many birds we’re able to protect depends on the steadfast support from caring bird lovers like you. So please, make your monthly donation before midnight tomorrow while your first gift could be matched, up to $400,000, to make twice the impact for birds and the places they need.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
