[LAST CHANCE] Help unlock $30,000 more for birds before midnight 🔓

[Midnight Deadline] Our Giving Tuesday Challenge Extension is almost over

Baltimore Oriole.

Our birds are on the brink. You can help us bring them back.

Dear KAREN, We're running out of time to unlock an additional $30,000 for vulnerable birds like the Baltimore Oriole, Scarlet Tanager, and Allen's Hummingbird. These birds are all ones that live in and around our communities—they're also all birds at increasing risk of extinction, projected to lose anywhere from 17 to 71% of their ranges. Our beloved birds can't ask you for help, so we need to do it on their behalf. We only have hours left to unlock an extra $30,000 for birds in need. Will you be one of the 30 new monthly donors we need before midnight?

Together with bird lovers like you, KAREN, we can build a safer, sustainable future for birds. We're championing the use of native plants, which provide more choices of food and shelter for birds and other wildlife. We're also partnering with cities and municipalities to introduce ordinances that will reduce the use of glass on buildings, as well as dim lights during key migration times. And at the national level, we're advocating for the Bird-Safe Buildings Act, a common-sense solution to help birds—as many as 1 billion annually—avoid collisions with buildings by promoting bird-friendly materials and designs.

Community Birds Need You

Species that spend part or all of their lives alongside us in and around our communities are at risk, with over 50 million birds lost since 1970.

Building collisions are estimated to kill up to a billion birds in the United States each year.

The 2019 State of the Birds report found that the Baltimore Oriole population had declined by 44% since 1970.

All of these initiatives wouldn't be possible without your support. With you by our side we can accomplish even more for the birds we love. This is your last chance to make a monthly contribution to unlock an extra $30,000 for birds in need. Can we count on your support before tonight's midnight deadline? Sincerely, National Audubon Society
