KAREN, we must flock together for birds’ protection

Get your first gift matched for birds like the Common Loon.

Dear KAREN, With World Water Day just hours away, we're asking you to make a commitment to help secure the clean water that birds need to survive. At a time when waterbirds like the Common Loon, Black Tern, and Eared Grebe are at serious risk from disease, pollution, and extreme weather, we must flock together for their protection.

MATCH CHALLENGE Your First Annual Gift Matched, Up To $10,000 Match Challenge Deadline: Midnight Tomorrow Donate Now Dear KAREN, Tomorrow is World Water Day—and if there was ever a time when birds needed this community to come together to protect this vital resource, it's now. The Common Loon, like two-thirds of North American bird species, is at increasing risk of extinction from the climate crisis. As they face threats from botulism in the Great Lakes region, ongoing oil spills, and climate change-fueled extreme weather events, we're not waiting to act—and you shouldn't either. Please start your annual donation right away to protect birds like the Common Loon and the places they need, today and tomorrow. Thanks to a generous group of donors, your first gift will be matched, up to $10,000. Your gift will renew automatically each year, giving birds dependable protection they can rely on.

The climate crisis means less safe, clean water for birds

Human activities have deprived birds like the Common Loon of the clean water they depend on.

Maine and Minnesota could see loons vanish by the end of the century.

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

If climate change continues unchecked, more extreme weather lies ahead, worsening the impacts on birds and their habitats. But because birds have been telling us for quite some time that we must take climate action—and because Audubon has listened—we're already protecting vulnerable birds in every landscape where we work. With the support of generous people like you, we've worked to pass legislation to increase funding for water projects that impact birds and communities, including the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) and the Saline Lake Ecosystems in the Great Basin States Program Act. Our efforts are making an impact, but just how much we're able to accomplish for birds and the rivers, lakes, and habitats they so desperately need depends on your reliable support. So please, start an annual recurring donation before midnight Wednesday, while your first gift will be matched, up to $10,000. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
