MATCH CHALLENGE Your First Annual Gift Matched, Up To $5,000 Match Challenge Deadline: Midnight Tonight Donate Now Dear KAREN, As the climate crisis worsens, storms are becoming more frequent and more severe. For beloved birds like the Piping Plover, who nest in open sandy settings near water, rising flood waters and torrential downpours could endanger their very survival. It's a code-red crisis—one that will get worse unless we take immediate action. With our Match Challenge ending in just a few hours, can we count on you to give birds the protection they need and deserve? Be one of the caring supporters we're depending on to join us with an annual donation before midnight tonight. Thanks to a generous group of donors, your first annual gift will be matched, up to $5,000, for birds and their habitats. An annual gift is a convenient way to provide for birds' future, as it renews automatically each year.

Birds can't escape the impacts of extreme weather

The Piping Plover is an endangered or threatened species in all parts of their range.

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

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

With support from bird lovers like you, our work gives birds a better chance at survival. Right now, we're preserving important habitats, advancing climate action, advocating for sound policy, and supporting sustainable resource management. And together, we've shown that where there's action, there's hope—bringing many beloved species back from the brink using our proven combination of empowering education, committed advocacy, and expert on-the-ground conservation. Just last summer, we celebrated a record-breaking breeding season for Great Lakes Piping Plovers—something that would have been unthinkable years ago. But this work is only possible with your continued partnership. So please, be the caring friend birds need today: Start an annual recurring donation before midnight and get your first gift matched, up to $5,000, to safeguard birds and the places they need. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
