GIVING CHALLENGE NAME: KAREN SHARP SUSTAINER STATUS: Unconfirmed GIVING CHALLENGE DEADLINE: MIDNIGHT TOMORROW   Give Monthly We Need 37 Donors Now To Unlock $5,000 Dear KAREN, Rivers, lakes, wetlands, and the birds that depend on them are suffering from drought across the country. It's a worst-case scenario playing out before our eyes. Birds like the Sandhill Crane can't endure such severe weather—and as the climate crisis worsens, these types of dangerous weather extremes could become more and more common. But today, you can help: Be one of the 37 supporters we're counting on to make a monthly donation before midnight tomorrow, and when you do, you'll help unlock $5,000 more for birds and the places they need thanks to a group of generous donors.

How birds are impacted by extreme weather

Crippling droughts can push birds to their physiological limits and make them vulnerable to lethal dehydration.

Intense and long-lasting rain storms lead to prolonged migrations and potentially higher bird mortality.

Megafires are destroying vital habitats, forcing many to search for new places to nest and forage.

Birds tell us it is not too late, but there is no time to lose. That's why Audubon and our partners worked to help get the Inflation Reduction Act across the finish line, including new drought funding and language for ecosystem and habitat restoration. We couldn't do this important work without people like you, so please: Be one of the 37 dedicated bird lovers we're counting on to join us with a monthly donation before midnight tomorrow while every gift will help unlock $5,000 more. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
