KAREN, this is your last chance to ensure the Fall issue of Audubon magazine is delivered straight to your door! For decades we’ve told stories that have fostered people’s love of birds—and as one of our most dedicated supporters, we want to ensure you can share in that joy. When you become an annual supporter today, you’ll get our exclusive, award-winning magazine as our thanks for your commitment to powering our mission to build a brighter future for birds and our planet. Start your annual gift before midnight and join 375,000 Audubon supporters in protecting birds and receive Audubon magazine free as our thanks.

In the midst of this code-red climate crisis, with one-third of U.S. bird species in need of conservation action, there’s no better time to stay informed on the issues birds face and learn what inspiring people are doing to protect them. That’s why, guided by science and informed by more than 120 years of experience, we identify which birds and habitats are most in need of protection and will most benefit from our efforts. These findings then drive effective action across our unrivaled network.

But we can’t do this work without the steadfast support of bird lovers like you. So what do you say? Make your annual gift now and get Audubon magazine as our thanks. When you act by midnight tonight, you’ll receive the next issue straight to your door!

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society

Pledge to Share the Shore with Coastal Birds

Take the first step to help protect coastal birds by pledging to Share the Shore.

Sign the Pledge

Shorebirds like the Wilson's Plover use beaches to nest and raise their chicks.

Dear KAREN,

If you think finding the perfect spot at the beach is tough, imagine being a bird that is just three inches tall looking for a safe, undisturbed patch of sand to hatch your eggs while thousands of loud humans are running around playing Frisbee or volleyball.

Over the last 50+ years, seabird and shorebird populations have plummeted by a shocking 70%. But we have the power to turn the tide if we all work together to share the shore and give birds the space they need to nest, rest, and feed.

For coastal birds, our beaches aren't a vacation spot; they’re home. Seabirds and shorebirds rely on our coasts for their migratory pit stops and nesting grounds. But with beach season in full swing, even the smallest disturbances can flush protective parents away from their nests, leaving vulnerable eggs and chicks exposed to the scorching sun and predators.

Together, we can make the coast safer. By committing to simple, bird-friendly beach habits—like giving nesting areas a wide berth and keeping dogs leashed—we can co-exist with the birds we love. And by spreading the word, we can encourage our friends and families to do the same.

Take the Share the Shore Pledge today and help us champion coastal stewardship from coast to coast.
