KAREN, will you be the friend birds need today?

You Can Help Prevent Extinction NAME: KAREN SHARP SUSTAINER STATUS: Unconfirmed GIVING CHALLENGE DEADLINE: Midnight Friday   Give Monthly 113 Donors Needed To Unlock $10,000 Dear KAREN, Birds like the Piping Plover need your help. This small shorebird is endangered in the Great Lakes area and threatened elsewhere. And despite recently showing signs of recovery thanks to Audubon's on-the-ground work, its future is far from assured. Like most North American bird species, it's at increasing risk of climate extinction and needs continued efforts and protection to survive. We're not willing to let the birds we love go extinct. Please join us in protecting birds like the Piping Plover today: Start your dependable monthly gift right away and you'll help unlock an additional $10,000 for birds and the places they need. At a time when 3 billion birds have vanished in just the last 50 years, we're in a code-red crisis. And last fall's USFWS announcement that 11 bird species have gone extinct reminds us of what's at stake. Unless we step up our efforts to save the species we still have, we stand to lose more birds. But with you by our side, there's hope. The story of the Piping Plover proves it. Recent years have seen exciting gains for this little bird, which has returned to nest in several sites it had previously abandoned. And research shows our coastal stewardship is key to this recovery: Birds are faring better in places where Audubon works. In order to continue important work to protect birds like the Piping Plover, to help them overcome the present dangers they face and survive the climate crisis, we need support from caring people like you. Audubon's efforts give birds a better shot at survival. With more than a century of science behind us, we know what it takes to protect birds at risk. And whether we're restoring local beaches or leading powerful national advocacy, we do it all, with your help—from protecting a precious handful of nests to large-scale climate action. With your support, KAREN, we can give birds like the Piping Plover a safer, more hopeful future. So please, be one of 113 supporters we're counting on to step up with a monthly donation today—and when you do, you'll help unlock $10,000 more for birds and their habitats. Sincerely, The National Audubon Society
