"It's death by a million cuts."

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

Allen's Hummingbird.

Deadline: Midnight. Get your gift matched, up to $5,000.

Dear KAREN, "It's death by a million cuts." That's how Ken Rosenberg, a conservation biologist with Road to Recovery, characterized the crisis facing more than half of bird species in the U.S. For birds like the Allen's Hummingbird, decades of habitat loss and degradation, disturbance from people and pets, and climate change have left them in a worrying decline. We're counting on bird lovers like you to join us as annual donors before midnight. Thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift will be matched, up to $5,000, to help birds like the Allen's Hummingbird survive. Will you be one of them? An annual gift is a convenient way to provide for birds' future, as it renews automatically each year.

Audubon's extensive network implements region-specific conservation efforts, driven by local expertise and bird-specific knowledge. With the support of bird lovers, we have showcased the effectiveness of stewardship and advocacy, establishing a model to protect vulnerable birds across diverse habitats.

Birds are in crisis:

More than half of U.S. bird species are in decline, with plummeting populations across nearly all habitats.

Most North American birds are under threat, with 389 species at increasing risk of going extinct.

Three billion birds have vanished in less than a human lifetime.

Together, we're showing that where there's action, there's hope. But we can—and must—do more while there's still time. So please, join us with an annual recurring donation while your first gift will be matched, up to $5,000, for birds and their habitats. Hurry—this special offer ends at midnight tonight! Sincerely, National Audubon Society
