Help unlock an additional $10,000 for birds.
NAME: KAREN SHARP SUSTAINER STATUS: Unconfirmed GIVING CHALLENGE DEADLINE: 2 DAYS | | 105 Bird Lovers Needed to Unlock $10,000 | | | | Dear KAREN, The Baltimore Oriole's striking orange-and-black plumage makes it one of our most recognizable—and beloved—North American species. Like so many backyard birds, it feels like they'll always be there, providing a soundtrack to our lives. But science shows a 26% decline among birds in our communities in the past 50 years. And unless we address the climate crisis now, even more could vanish. That's why we're reaching out to our most dedicated bird lovers today: When you start your monthly gift right now, you'll help unlock $10,000 in additional support to protect climate-vulnerable birds like the Baltimore Oriole. The disappearance of our beloved backyard birds is just one facet of a larger bird emergency. We've lost 3 billion birds in the span of just five decades. And as you read this, climate change poses an existential threat to two-thirds of North American bird species. This is a code-red crisis for birds—even familiar favorites like the Baltimore Oriole, which has already sustained a staggering 44% loss since 1970. Here's the good news: We're ready and uniquely built to take on this urgent challenge. We've got rigorous science and a century of expertise on our side to help create and maintain bird-friendly communities, support essential policies and protections, and take bold climate action. But our best efforts depend on you, KAREN. We're counting on 105 bird lovers to step up as monthly donors today to sustain our best work. Right now, every gift will help unlock $10,000 more to protect birds and their habitats—so please start your dependable monthly gift right away. Sincerely, The National Audubon Society | | | | |
