More than half of U.S. birds in decline.
 
Dear KAREN,

Right now, more than half of all U.S. birds are in decline—including the Snowy Owl. And our 2019 climate report showed that the Snowy Owl has a vulnerability rating of high—losing 93% of their range at the most extreme warming scenario.

The Arctic is warming at four times the global average. This significant heating leads to the decline of sea ice, the melting of glaciers, and the loss of habitats and prey for animals like the Snowy Owl.

Populations are in a precipitous decline and it's up to us to act before it's too late. Your gift for birds like the Snowy Owl will be matched 2X up to $5,000 for the next 48 hours. Can we count on your first annual donation?
Your gift protects birds [GIVE NOW]
We know time is of the essence when it comes to protecting birds like the Snowy Owl, which is why Audubon has been advocating at the federal level for more protections in the Arctic lands these vulnerable birds call home.

After our work advocating for the conservation needs and cultural values connected to the Arctic Refuge, we're pleased The Department of Interior recently released an environmental impact statement to formally recognize this area. The Department also issued a new conservation rule that would further protect, and possibly expand, the Western Arctic's designated Special Areas. If approved, these two actions would be historic wins for the Arctic and the Snowy Owl, advancing conservation at unprecedented levels.

We are working to permanently protect important Snowy Owl habitat from oil and gas developments.
 
While these recent conservation efforts are exciting and should be celebrated, there is still so much more we need to do to combat the disastrous impacts of climate change on species from the Snowy Owl to the Golden-winged Warbler.

And we can only do it with your help, KAREN.

We have a limited time opportunity to double your gift for vulnerable birds—up to $5,000. Will you be one of the annual donors we need before this opportunity expires in 48 hours?

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
