Amplify your impact ahead of World Water Day

MATCH CHALLENGE Your First Annual Gift Matched, Up To $10,000 Match Challenge Deadline Approaching Donate Now Dear KAREN, A 23-year megadrought has left the Southwest at the driest it is estimated to have ever been in 1,200 years—and as a result, rivers, lakes, wetlands, and the birds that depend on them are suffering. Birds like the Eared Grebe can't endure such severe weather, and as the climate changes, these extremes could become more and more common. The research is clear: To protect birds, we must protect water. We're built to meet this challenge—and with you by our side, we can give birds a safer, more hopeful future. Ahead of World Water Day, we're asking dedicated bird lovers like you to join us with an annual donation. Thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift will be matched, up to $10,000, for birds through this limited-time match. An annual gift is a convenient way to provide for birds' future, as it renews automatically each year. So please, be one of the caring friends we're counting on to join us right away.

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.

Using our more than a century of expertise and proven combination of committed advocacy, empowering education, and expert on-the-ground conservation, we address both the impacts of climate change and its causes. We work to increase the resilience of birds and essential habitats while fighting for cleaner energy and reduced carbon emissions. And together with caring bird lovers like you, we're making a difference. Last year, Audubon was instrumental in passing 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. But our work is far from over. So as we approach World Water Day, we must recommit ourselves to this critical work. We're counting on bird lovers like you to start an annual recurring donation today while it will be matched, up to $10,000, to protect birds and their habitats. So please, make your gift today. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
