Piping Plover.

The clock is ticking: Double your impact for birds now

MATCH CHALLENGE Your first annual gift will be MATCHED, Up to $25,000 119 Donors Needed Donate Now Dear KAREN, Just last year, 11 bird species were declared extinct—part of the largest batch of extinctions ever announced by the U.S. government. In the midst of a global biodiversity crisis, with three billion birds lost in just 50 years and two-thirds of North American bird species at increasing risk of climate extinction, we need to do everything in our power to protect and strengthen the species that remain. Safeguarding beloved at-risk birds like the Piping Plover will take science-backed, on-the-ground solutions that match the magnitude of this code-red crisis. It'll take the steadfast support of bird lovers like you. So please, commit to their protection with a gift that renews automatically each year while, thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift will be matched, up to $25,000.

For birds like the Piping Plover, decades of habitat loss and degradation have precipitated a worrying decline. Yet their story also proves that where there is action, there is hope: In recent years, they have returned to nest in several sites they had previously abandoned. And research shows Audubon's coastal stewardship is key to this recovery. It comes down to this: Where we work—and when you power this work with generous giving—birds are better off. We're counting on your unfaltering support to protect birds and the places they need—not just today, but tomorrow, too. So please start your annual gift before midnight and your first donation will be matched up to $25,000. Your annual sustaining gift will provide dependable resources our teams need for their work to defend birds year after year. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
