MATCH CHALLENGE Your First Annual Gift Matched, Up To $5,000 Match Challenge Deadline: Midnight Tonight Donate Now Dear KAREN, A report from the World Meteorological Organization found that a disaster from a weather-, climate- or water-related hazard occurred every day on average over the past 50 years. Worse yet, the number of disasters increased fivefold over the same period—and are expected to become more frequent and intense if we fail to take immediate action. Birds are already suffering from the effects of planetary warming. But today, you have a special opportunity to soar to their defense. This Match Challenge ends at midnight—and we don't want you to miss out! We're counting on a few more supporters to start an annual recurring donation while, thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift will be matched, up to $5,000. Won't you be the friend birds need today?

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.

The situation is dire, but 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 rigorous research, committed advocacy, empowering education, and hands-on conservation. Just last summer, we celebrated a record-breaking breeding season for Great Lakes Piping Plovers, creating a blueprint for protecting vulnerable birds across a wide range of habitats. This is the kind of large-scale progress that's made possible with your support. So please, start your annual donation right away and get your first gift matched, up to $5,000, for birds and the places they need. An annual gift is a convenient way to provide for birds' future, as it renews automatically each year. Hurry: this powerful chance to help ends at midnight tonight. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
