Help bring birds back from the brink of extinction

Get your gift matched for birds like the Allen's Hummingbird.

Dear KAREN, Right now, two out of every three North American bird species face an increasing risk of extinction as the climate crisis worsens, including those like the Allen's Hummingbird that play a unique role in the health and biodiversity of our planet. At a time when we've already lost 3 billion birds in the last 50 years, we can't let any more critical species disappear.

Help bring birds back from the brink of extinction

MATCH CHALLENGE Your Gift Matched, Up To $5,000 Match Challenge Deadline Approaching Donate Now Dear KAREN, The Allen's Hummingbird is a species in a worrying decline. Their populations have plummeted by a staggering 88% since 1970—and without immediate climate action, they could lose most of their wintering range by the end of the century. And because this essential pollinator plays a unique role in their surrounding ecosystem, few species will fill the void when they are gone—extending the impact to all the plant species they pollinate. Protecting these specialized, at-risk birds like the Allen's Hummingbird will take research-backed, on-the-ground solutions that match the magnitude of this code-red crisis. It'll take you. So please, be one of the supporters we're relying on to make a donation today. When you do, your gift will be matched up to $5,000 thanks to a generous group of donors.

It's a code-red crisis for birds

The Allen's Hummingbird population has plummeted by 88% since 1970.

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

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

With more than a century of protecting birds under our wing, Audubon knows how to deliver hands-on conservation efforts that are locally focused and guided by region- and bird-specific expertise. With the support of bird lovers like you, we're defending the laws that protect birds at risk, advocating for strong legislation like the Growing Climate Solutions Act, keeping important landscapes and waters resilient, and fighting for the bold climate action birds need now. The future for birds like the Allen's Hummingbird depends on what we do next. So please, rush your donation before midnight tomorrow while it will be matched to give birds their best hope for survival. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
