NEW Match: Make 2X the impact ahead of World Water Day!

KAREN, World Water Day is right around the corner—but we simply can’t wait. Not when birds like Common Loons are struggling to find the clean, safe water they need to survive. Not when they face threats from flooding, lead poisoning, parasites, and mercury exposure. And not when they, like two-thirds of North American bird species, are at increasing risk of extinction from the climate crisis. That’s why today, we are asking for your support while a special match offer doubles your power to help: Start your annual gift today and your first gift could be matched, up to $5,000, to help provide birds with the safe, clean water they need to survive.

The birds you love are at risk

Human actions have taken a heavy toll on birds that rely on water.

Climate change, water fluctuations, and pollution remain serious threats to their survival.

In just one human lifetime, we’ve lost 3 billion birds.

If climate change continues unchecked, more extreme weather lies ahead, worsening the impacts on birds and their habitats. But because birds have been telling us for quite some time that we must take climate action—and because we’ve listened—we’re already protecting vulnerable birds in every landscape where we work. With the support of caring friends like you, we’re working to strengthen habitat resilience where waterbirds live, advocate for policy change, and fight for cleaner energy and reduced carbon emissions to curb extreme weather and its cascading effects. Our efforts are making an impact, but just how much we’re able to accomplish for birds and the rivers, lakes, and habitats they so desperately need depends on your reliable support. So please, start an annual donation right away while your first gift could be matched, up to $5,000. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
