KAREN, we must protect birds like loons while we still can

Your first gift will be matched for the birds we love.

Common Loon.

The clean water birds need is disappearing

MATCH CHALLENGE Your First Annual Gift Matched, Up To $10,000 Match Challenge Deadline: Midnight Wednesday Donate Now Dear KAREN, If no action is taken to slow climate change, the Common Loon is set to lose 80% of its U.S. breeding range by 2050. And sadly, they're not alone: Two-thirds of North American bird species are currently at increasing risk of extinction due to the climate crisis. We must prioritize water quality across the country to protect them while we still can. So with World Water Day just two days away, we're turning to dedicated bird lovers like you. Will you be one of the caring friends we're counting on to join us with an annual donation? Thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift will be matched, up to $10,000, to achieve water protection wins for birds and their habitats. Your annual gift will recur automatically each year, providing dependable support for Audubon's work to protect birds and the places they need.

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.

And it's not just the Common Loon that needs our help. Black Terns have lost a staggering 99% of their population in Michigan in the last 54 years. That's why Audubon has led the fight to get funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a federal program that supports our on-the-ground conservation work to remove invasive species, install Black Tern nesting platforms at sites across Michigan, and monitor how marsh birds are responding to habitat improvements. We've made incredible progress for birds in need across the country—and we can achieve even more if you'll join us with your sustaining gift today. We're counting on a few more friends to start an annual recurring donation during our special World Water Day match. Please act now while your first gift will be matched, up to $10,000, to help us create a brighter future for the birds we love. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
