Help unlock an additional $5,000 for birds.
NAME: KAREN SHARP SUSTAINER STATUS: Unconfirmed GIVING CHALLENGE DEADLINE: MIDNIGHT TONIGHT | | 61 Bird Lovers Needed to Unlock $5,000 | | | | Dear KAREN, There are so many reasons for hope because of support from people like you. Your support helps shape a better future for birds and their habitats. Your support helps threatened species recover or become abundant. And now, birds need your support now more than ever. When you start your monthly gift before midnight tonight, you'll help unlock $5,000 in additional support to protect birds and their habitats through our limited time giving challenge. The Rose-breasted Grosbeak, a backyard favorite, often stays out of sight—but its rich whistled song lets us know when it's foraging in the treetops. Like many birds, its future depends on our efforts and your support for protection. Its numbers have dropped a staggering 29% since 1970—and it's one of two thirds of North American species at increasing risk of extinction because of climate change. In fact, the decline of birds in our communities is just one aspect of a larger emergency: three billion birds have vanished in the last 50 years. With losses still happening as you read this, and as birds face the threats of a climate crisis, we must act now to avoid further disaster. Audubon has more than 100 years of expertise creating and maintaining bird-friendly communities. With the help of bird lovers like you, we're restoring and protecting intact forests, promoting plants for birds, and advocating for bird-friendly buildings. We're championing stronger protections for migratory birds so they'll be safe across their full cycle. And we're advancing climate solutions for the sake of birds and people, so that future generations can listen for the same sweet songs we hear. We can do all this and more because birds have friends like you. Together, we can give birds a more hopeful future. We're relying on the steady support from 61 new monthly donors to make it all possible. Please start your sustaining gift right away while it will help unlock an additional $5,000 gift. Hurry, the deadline is midnight tonight. Sincerely, The National Audubon Society | | | | |
