Gifts matched up to $25,000
| Needed now: 151 generous friends | | | | Dear KAREN, This summer, a U.N. panel sounded the alarm on climate change louder than ever before, calling our current situation "code red for humanity". It's no less a crisis for birds: with two-thirds of North American species at increasing risk of extinction from global temperature rise. That includes birds like the Rufous Hummingbird, which could see its current summer range shrink by 70 percent and its winter range by half due to a warming climate. Presently, many other birds are facing the brutal impacts of wildfires, extreme heat and drought, and record-breaking storms—each one worse than the last. Birds are telling us that we must take immediate action to help them survive. Today you have the chance to do twice as much to help. Make your most generous year-end contribution today, and your gift will be matched dollar for dollar up to $25,000. This doubles your power to protect the birds you love. But hurry—this offer ends at midnight tonight. At a time when climate change threatens nearly two-thirds of our species, when we've already lost nearly three billion birds, with unprecedented fire seasons and large oil spills jeopardizing habitats, and as every additional threat pushes birds closer to extinction, we must do more to protect birds and their habitats. You give birds their best chance at survival when you back our efforts: the science, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation that we've carried out for more than a century. Our work to protect birds and the places they need is crucial, and it depends on you, KAREN. So please, make the most of this limited-time dollar-for-dollar match while there's still time and give your best gift. We'll put your year-end contribution—now doubled!—right to work powering our most effective efforts for the birds we all love. Sincerely, The National Audubon Society | | | | |
