Once a species is lost, we can't bring it back.
Dear KAREN,

Just a few years ago several bird species were declared extinct, part of the largest batch of extinctions ever announced by the U.S. government. It's a heartbreaking preview of what could lie ahead: Experts warn that announcements like these will grow more and more common if we don't take immediate action. For birds like the Golden-cheeked Warbler, who has already experienced one of the steepest declines of any songbird, there's no time to waste. Will you make an annual donation now to help protect birds, not just today but tomorrow, too? For a limited time, your first gift will be matched, up to $5,000, for the birds we love. An annual gift is a convenient way to provide for birds' future, as it renews automatically each year.
Birds are disappearing
For over a century, bird enthusiasts have supported our research, education, and conservation efforts to safeguard birds in need. By advocating for crucial laws like the Endangered Species Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, protecting habitats, and advancing climate research, we provide endangered birds with their best chance at survival.
 
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 single human lifetime.
 
But none of this is possible without your continued partnership. We're counting on bird lovers like you to join us with an annual recurring donation today to sustain our best work. Right now, your first gift will be matched, up to $5,000, to protect birds—so please, start your annual recurring gift right away.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
