Dear KAREN,
In a small pocket of central Texas, the Golden-cheeked Warbler's song is a treat for the ear. But this vivid warbler's cheerful sounds may hide the fact that it's in crisis. If we don't act, it could be silenced forever, and its woodland home would fall quiet with its loss.
Imagine that absence—and now think about the 389 North American bird species that could face extinction from climate change. 389 songs and calls silenced forever, unless we protect them now.
If we want future generations to experience the joy of the natural world, we must defend birds and the places they depend on while we still can.
Start a steadfast monthly gift before midnight tonight, and be one of the 61 donors we need to help unlock an additional $20,000. There's no sugar-coating the truth: Birds are in a dire situation. This fall, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced the largest batch of extinctions in its history—including 11 bird species.
That's a call to action for anyone who loves birds. Audubon has brought birds back from the brink before, and we know what it takes.
We'll protect and restore the habitats birds depend on, especially those forests and grasslands that are rapidly disappearing.
We'll keep pushing for strong conservation laws to protect public lands, birds, and other wildlife.
We'll fight for the bold action that's needed to ease the climate crisis.
And we'll keep up our on-the-ground conservation, working with local stakeholders and volunteers, doing hands-on work to restore key habitats.
We're prepared to do all that and more. But for a crisis of this scale, we need you at our side.
Birds depend on caring friends like you, so please start a monthly gift today. You'll provide support birds can count on and power our best work, today and tomorrow. And please don't wait, because when you donate by midnight tonight, you'll also help secure $20,000 in this special giving challenge.
Sincerely,
The National Audubon Society
