(Deadline: Midnight) Birds depend on what happens right now

Last chance to help fulfill this $100,000 challenge

Oiled Brown Pelican.

This giving challenge ends at midnight—and we still need you!

GIVING CHALLENGE NAME: KAREN SHARP SUSTAINER STATUS: Unconfirmed GIVING CHALLENGE DEADLINE: Midnight   Donate 15 new monthly donors needed to unlock $100,000 Dear KAREN, Giving Tuesday is almost over, and we've been awed and gratified by the way this community has shown up for birds today. But with just hours left to go, we still need just 15 more monthly donors to secure this giving challenge, our biggest of the year. Can you please help? Start your monthly gift now, before midnight tonight, while you'll not only provide support birds can depend on today and tomorrow, but also help earn an additional $100,000 in critical funding. Birds are facing a barrage of threats like none before, as Hurricane Ida showed us with appalling clarity when it ripped through the Gulf of Mexico this August. In its immediate aftermath, it left behind dozens of oil spills, each one a lethal threat to birds, and damaged ecosystems that may take years to recover. But beyond that, it warned of what we could face in the future as the climate continues to change: more intense storms. More sudden disasters as systems come under pressure. And more of the birds we love lost—some beyond recovering, as two-thirds of our bird species are at risk of climate extinction. It will take a huge effort to steer us toward a safer future for birds—a future of safe habitats, clean water, and a stable climate. But with your steadfast support, KAREN, we can do it. We depend on caring friends like you to power our expert conservation work. Together, we can protect the birds we love and the places they need. There's not much time to act, so we're asking you today: Before Giving Tuesday ends, will you seize this opportunity to help? Make a dependable monthly gift before midnight tonight, while you can help unlock this $100,000 challenge. It's going to take all of us working together to give birds their most hopeful future, so please help as generously as you can today. Sincerely, The National Audubon Society
