| | | 137 new monthly donors needed right away | | | | Dear KAREN, "Increased action must begin this year, not next year, this month, not next month—and indeed today, not tomorrow." That's how Inger Andersen, executive director of the United Nations Environment Program, responded to the latest report from the body's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). But because we've long listened to what birds have been telling us, our today actually started decades ago—ensuring that we're already all-in on protecting vulnerable birds. So when you support Audubon, you're giving birds like the Scarlet Tanager their best chance at a more hopeful future. Thanks to our special Earth Day challenge, your monthly gift will help unlock $25,000 more to protect birds and their habitats everywhere we work. Please join us as one of the 137 new monthly donors we need right away. The IPCC report is clear: We will continue suffering from the dire effects of planetary warming—and these effects will only worsen—unless we change course. But Audubon has worked for more than a century to improve the resilience of important landscapes—and we've seen inspiring successes across the country. A prime example is the protection of the Great Lakes Wetlands, the largest freshwater ecosystem on the planet, which provides drinking water to 40 million people and its coastal habitats support over 350 bird species. Last year, we released a historic blueprint for how to best conserve indispensable coastal areas to address the threats facing the Great Lakes region. The report outlines our conservation efforts, which includes dozens of projects to restore or protect 300,000 acres of habitat for birds and people over the next decade. This is the kind of large-scale progress that's possible using our proven combination of sound science, empowering education, and expert hands-on conservation. It's the kind of long-term commitment made possible by your support. Now, with two out of every three North American species at increasing risk of climate extinction in the coming years, we need to work harder than ever before to protect the birds we love. And what is good for birds, is good for people. So please, start your dependable gift right away and be one of the 137 new monthly donors we need to unlock an additional $25,000 for birds and the places they need. And hurry: this powerful chance to help ends at midnight tomorrow. Sincerely, National Audubon Society | | | | |
