Climate change is destroying Snowy Owl habitats

You can protect birds and the places they need.

Snowy Owl.

More than half of U.S. birds in decline.

Dear KAREN, According to the latest State of the Birds report, 90 bird species have lost 50% or more of their populations in the past 50 years, including the Snowy Owl. Warming trends suggest their population declines are not part of any natural cycle but due to human-driven climate change, making their lives tougher as their arctic habitat becomes warmer and warmer. We urgently need to do more to protect these "on alert" birds—and every bird in need. And with your support we know we can. Will you join us with an annual gift? Thanks to generous donors, your gift will be matched up to $5,000 for birds in need–but only until midnight!

Every year millions of acres of the habitats birds call home are lost or degraded, and the only way to curb the rapid acceleration of this decline is through protection and restoration. And that's what we've been doing for the Snowy Owl—and all vulnerable birds. We have worked for years on public action urging policymakers to permanently protect regions of the Arctic from threats including oil and gas developments. And right now, we're urging the Department of Interior to advance their recent actions and keep the momentum going to protect the ecological and cultural values of the Arctic.

The birds we love need protection

Snowy Owls have been listed as a "vulnerable" species since 2017.

The Snowy Owl has lost 50% of its population from 1970-2019.

We are working to permanently protect important Snowy Owl habitat from oil and gas developments.

We're committed to keeping the momentum going to ensure the Arctic is protected—and we hope you are too. Please, will you join us before midnight with an annual gift? Thanks to a group of dedicated supporters, your donation will be matched up to $5,000 for birds like the Snowy Owl. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
