A code-red crisis for birds—and how you can help

Birds need you in their corner right away

Scarlet Tanager.

Unlock $10,000 for Birds in Peril

GIVING CHALLENGE 17 monthly donors unlocks $10,000 Giving Challenge Deadline: MIDNIGHT TONIGHT Give Monthly Dear KAREN, Hiding high up in the canopy of eastern forests, red-and-black Scarlet Tanagers can be surprisingly tough to spot. But if we're to continue spotting them for years to come, we must do all we can to protect the forests they call home now. And it's not just Scarlet Tanagers who are becoming increasingly vulnerable—birds in every habitat and across many different species are facing a code-red crisis unlike any we've seen before. But you can protect them with a powerful gift—just 17 more monthly donors helps unlock another $10,000 to defend birds and the habitats they call home, thanks to a group of generous donors. Birds can't ask for help, but we can—please rush your support to give birds a brighter future.

We're in the midst of a bird emergency:

3 billion birds have vanished in less than a human lifetime.

Two-thirds of North American bird species are threatened with extinction due to climate change.

Birds like the Scarlet Tanager are losing vital forest habitat.

KAREN, we still have time to reverse course, if we act now. The gift you start today safeguards birds from the most devastating effects of climate change: fragmented habitat, extreme weather events, and global temperature rise. From Audubon's cutting-edge conservation research to advocating for climate legislation in town halls all the way up to the U.S. Capitol, we know what it takes to get birds back on track. But we can't continue this vital work without you. Help us kick start Giving Tuesday with a monthly donation for birds and the places they depend on. We need 17 more monthly donors like you to unlock another $10,000 to combat this code-red crisis. But please hurry—this special challenge ends at midnight tonight. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
