Rufous Hummingbird.

Birds are at a tipping point—but you can help.

MATCH CHALLENGE Your First Annual Gift Matched, Up To $5,000 Match Deadline: MIDNIGHT TOMORROW Donate Now Dear KAREN, The tiny Rufous Hummingbird is facing a big problem: They've lost two-thirds of their population in the past 50 years alone—and they're on track to lose another 50% in the coming decades. The Rufous Hummingbird—and the 69 other vulnerable bird species at a tipping point—need your help today to survive. We're counting on bird lovers like you to join us as annual donors right away while, thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift will be matched to do even more to protect birds and their habitats. Will you be one of them?

Birds are at a tipping point

More than half of U.S. bird species are in decline.

389 North American bird species are at increasing risk of climate extinction.

We've lost 3 billion birds in the span of a human lifetime.

Our research identifies which birds are threatened, which habitats are most in need of protection, and which birds will most benefit from our efforts—findings that drive our expert on-the-ground conservation work. And where we work, birds are better off: Waterbird populations as a whole remain healthy thanks to decades of investments in conservation efforts from landowners, state and federal agencies, and NGOs. With you by our side, we're confident we can replicate this success for more habitats and more birds. Make your annual gift today and your first will be matched, up to $5,000, to help provide recovery for vulnerable birds like the Rufous Hummingbird. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
