2X Match ending soon

MATCH CHALLENGE Your first annual gift MATCHED, Up to $75,000 155 donors needed today Donate Dear KAREN, Its time to act! Because right now, more than half of U.S. bird species are in steep decline. And species like the Rufous Hummingbird have lost more than half of their populations in less than one human lifetime—and are on track to lose another half or more in the coming decades if we don't intervene. That's why we must ask you not to hesitate to defend birds now. Please don't wait to start your steadfast annual gift that birds can rely on today and tomorrow. Thanks to a group of generous donors, your first contribution will be matched up to $75,000, but only until midnight. Each and every contribution powers our work to protect birds—and the need has never been greater.

Birds are at a tipping point

More than 3 billion birds lost in the past 50 years.

70+ species of birds have lost at least half of their populations in the past 50 years.

Climate-intensified natural disasters and human-caused habitat loss continue to worsen.

In this challenging moment, birds need you more than ever. With your critical support, Audubon will keep defending the birds you love and the places they need through a powerful combination of science, advocacy, education, and direct conservation action. We're already making meaningful strides to protect birds by protecting the habitats they depend on. After 40 years of concerted wetland conservation efforts, waterbird and waterfowl populations overall have increased 34% and 18%, respectively. From the Everglades to the Central Valley of California, Audubon's efforts and partnerships have made a positive impact. But we have more work to do if we want to ensure birds don't suffer more precipitous population drops over the next 50 years. This is your best chance to help redouble our efforts for birds. Please start your generous annual gift right away, while your first contribution counts 2X! Sincerely, National Audubon Society
