50% lost in the last 50 years. On track to lose 50% more in the coming decades.. Birds need you now.

Your first annual gift will now be matched up to $10,000 for the birds we love.

Rufous Hummingbird.

New offer! Your first annual gift will now be matched, up to $10,000

Dear KAREN, According to the 2022 State of the Birds report, more than half of U.S. bird species are in decline. Of those, 70 species—including the beloved Rufous Hummingbird—have lost 50% or more of their populations in the past 50 years, and are on track to lose another half or more in the coming decades. Here's the good news: with your help we can work to reverse these declines. And a new match challenge now doubles the impact of your gift, thanks to a generous group of donors. Start your annual donation now and your first gift will be matched, up to $10,000. But this opportunity is only good until midnight tomorrow, so please don't wait: Start your annual gift today to protect birds and their habitats.

Drawing on a century of expertise, we're using research, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation to protect birds and the places they need. And with your support, we're making a positive impact across the country. For example, in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah our Habitat Hero program provides people, businesses, and cities with the resources to create bird-friendly habitats, like gardens, in their own communities. These gardens support species like Rufous Hummingbirds during their migration, helping these beloved birds' populations begin to rebound.

The birds we love need protection

Two-thirds of Rufous Hummingbirds have been lost in the past 50 years.

This species could see its current summer range shrink by 70 percent and its winter range by half.

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

But just how many birds we're able to protect with programs like these depends on the steady support from caring bird lovers like you. Please start your annual donation right away and get your first gift matched, up to $10,000, 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 special offer expires at midnight tomorrow. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
