Unless we act together now, even more birds could vanish

Don't miss this new opportunity to protect birds

Dear KAREN, When a bird goes extinct, it's gone forever. Last year, it was 11 species—and now, at least 389 bird species are at increasing risk of climate extinction, including the Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo.

Giving Tuesday Challenge extended! One more day to amplify your impact.

GIVING CHALLENGE 124 Donors Needed To Unlock $20,000 Giving Challenge Deadline: MIDNIGHT TONIGHT Give Monthly Dear KAREN, The Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo is one of the West's most imperiled birds. Listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, there are still vast swathes of its habitat excluded from protection—and drought, climate change, and water uncertainty will challenge it in the extreme. The Audubon community flocked together yesterday for Giving Tuesday, making their best gifts to protect birds and the places they need. Now, we're calling on you to keep up the momentum to help bring birds like the Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo back from the brink: Thanks to a group of generous donors, if 124 new monthly donors join us by midnight tonight, it will unlock another $20,000 for birds. Start a monthly gift today and give the birds you love protection they can count on.

This code-red crisis requires our immediate attention:

2021 had the largest number of extinctions ever announced by the government.

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.

Strong conservation laws are critical to protecting vulnerable birds and their habitats. To preserve the Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo's habitat—and therefore give the species the space to rebound—we've helped secure hundreds of thousands of acres of critical habitat across western forests, rivers, and streams: places that are essential to the future of this species and the survival of many others. But we can't continue this important work without you, KAREN. Make your monthly gift before midnight tonight, and together, we'll secure a safer future for birds and the places they need to survive. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
