Birds need you now more than ever
473 friends like you needed now | | | | Dear KAREN, The U.N. climate report this summer called our climate crisis a "code red for humanity." For birds, it's an unmitigated disaster: Two-thirds of North American birds are staring down the possibility of climate extinction—and that's far from the only threat they face. If we want to save them, the time to act is right now. Do your best for birds with a generous year-end gift, while gifts are matched dollar for dollar up to $65,000. Climate change alone poses a host of dangers to birds, from melting tundra to disappearing shorelines, from deadly drought and fires to severe storms. But while birds are only beginning to feel the effects of climate change, a host of more immediate dangers, from habitat loss to devastating oil spills, are already wreaking havoc. And with every new danger, birds need concrete protections to survive. Birds alone can't do anything about this daunting set of problems. But you, KAREN, have the power to help. Audubon knows how to solve complex problems for birds. In our hundred-plus year history, we've brought many threatened birds back from the brink, and we won't stop now. Your year-end gift (now doubled) will help to: - Pursue aggressive climate action to slow the accelerating climate crisis;
- Preserve and restore key bird habitats through on the ground conservation;
- Advocate for forward-thinking conservation policies and laws to protect birds and the places they need;
- And carry forward the rigorous science that forms the foundation for everything we do.
KAREN, this is a challenge like no other in our history. We'll never stop fighting, but our success depends on you. Birds are counting on you. Will you be there for them? Help make 2022 a year of hope for birds: Make your best year-end gift today, before midnight, while this limited-time year-end 2X match will double the impact of your gift to protect the birds you love. Sincerely, The National Audubon Society | | | | |
