MATCH CHALLENGE Your First Annual Gift Matched, Up To $5,000 Match Challenge Deadline: Midnight Tomorrow Donate Now Rising water levels destroying nests and killing chicks. Severe storms washing away entire nesting areas. This isn't some far-off worst-case scenario, KAREN—it's the current nightmare facing birds like the beloved Piping Plover. If climate change continues unchecked, more extreme weather lies ahead, worsening the impacts on birds and their habitats. We're not going to sit by and let that happen—and we know you won't, either. So please, be one of the supporters we're relying on to start an annual donation today. When you do, your first annual gift will be matched, up to $5,000, to help bring birds back from the brink. Your gift will renew automatically each year, giving birds dependable protection they can rely on.

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.

We're in the midst of a code-red crisis. But because birds have been telling us for quite some time that we must act—and because we have listened—we're already protecting vulnerable birds in every landscape where we work. With the support of generous people like you, we've helped Piping Plover populations rebound, creating a blueprint for protecting vulnerable birds across a wide range of habitats. You give birds their best chance at survival when you join our efforts: the rigorous research, committed advocacy, empowering education, and hands-on conservation that makes up over a century of work. We're looking for a few more bird lovers to start an annual donation right away to help build a safer future for birds—and when you give today, your first annual gift will be matched, up to $5,000. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
