The worst thing we can do is despair, KAREN

Help unlock $25,000 for birds in honor of Earth Day.

Dear KAREN, Climate change puts many of our beloved birds in crisis, and although their prospects look dire there's hope in action. We've been able to accomplish so much together over the last year and we're looking forward to doing more to secure a brighter future for birds. With the support of caring friends like you, Audubon has led bold climate advocacy efforts from state houses around the country to Capitol Hill. And across North America, we've been restoring crucial ecosystems for the sake of the birds they support, increasing their climate resilience, which benefits us all. But there's more to do, and when you help, together we can achieve it. As we look toward Earth Day, birds urgently depend on people who care about them—people like you, KAREN. So please, be one of 162 supporters we're counting on to start a monthly gift right away and help unlock $25,000 more for the birds we love. Sincerely, Sarah Rose Vice President of Climate National Audubon Society

Scarlet Tanager.

When we flock together, incredible things are possible

EARTH DAY 2022 NAME: KAREN SHARP SUSTAINER STATUS: Unconfirmed GIVING CHALLENGE DEADLINE: MIDNIGHT TOMORROW   Donate 162 monthly donors needed right now Dear KAREN, Tomorrow is Earth Day, when we reaffirm our commitment to protecting the natural world and confronting the most serious threat to birds and people alike: climate change. But we aren't waiting for Earth Day to act. In fact, because we've long listened to birds and heeded their warnings, we're already acting to ease the crisis so that birds can thrive. Just how many birds we're able to protect depends on the steady support from committed bird lovers like you. So please, start your dependable gift right away and be one of the 162 new monthly donors we need to unlock $25,000 more for birds and the places they need. Audubon's sustained efforts for birds are already helping to secure wins we can be proud of. Last June, the U.S. Senate passed bipartisan legislation to reduce emissions—key to preventing the worst effects of climate change. People just like you power our ability to support federal climate legislation that secures a better future for birds. And while we take on the causes of climate change, we've also addressed its effects, shoring up the resilience of landscapes across North America. All of this has been possible thanks to friends like you. And through your support, where Audubon works birds are better off. Now, with climate change threatening two thirds of North American bird species with increasing risk of extinction, we must do more while there's still time. With more than a century of expertise on our side, we know what it takes to protect climate-vulnerable birds like the Scarlet Tanager. Using our proven combination of committed advocacy, empowering education, and expert on-the-ground conservation—all guided by science and grounded in our shared love for birds—we've been able to bring many beloved species back from the brink. Audubon is committed to protecting birds and their habitats, today and tomorrow, and we're relying on the steady support from caring friends like you to make it all possible. Please start your monthly gift today and help unlock an additional $25,000 gift in honor of Earth Day. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
