[Match Active] Your gift matched 2X up to $500,000 for the next 48 hours

Help birds like the Allen's Hummingbird with your gift right now.

When a bird goes extinct it's gone forever, there is no bringing it back. And sadly, we're at risk of losing beloved birds like the Allen's Hummingbirds if drastic action isn't taken to slow global temperature rise. According to the North American Breeding Bird Survey, their populations declined by 80% between 1968 and 2019.

Give Annually

Unless we all take action right now, we're at risk of losing even more of these beautiful birds. Will you commit to an annual gift right now and help us continue our work to protect all at-risk birds? Thanks to a generous group of donors, we'll match it up to $500,000.

Allen's Hummingbird.

Be There for Birds This Year

Dear KAREN, Did you know the Allen's Hummingbird has seen its populations plummet by a staggering 80% between 1968 and 2019? And our 2019 climate report revealed they are one of the almost 400 species of North American birds at increasing risk of extinction. Sadly, they aren't alone. In fact, two-thirds of bird species in North America are at risk of climate extinction. That's why there isn't a moment to waste. Will you start your annual gift to help us protect the Allen's Hummingbird and all birds who are at risk? This compassionate choice is a convenient way to provide uninterrupted resources our teams can depend on in their work to defend birds year after year. If you're one of the 478 donors needed today, your new gift will be matched 2X up to $500,000.

We know the time to act to combat climate change is now,KAREN. That's why we're responding with an unprecedented combination of strategies. From advancing policies that reduce carbon emissions and support clean energy to leading land management practices that will mitigate the impacts of climate change and sea level rise, we're at the frontlines of this fight.

389 Species Are On the Brink

Two-thirds of North American birds are at increasing risk of extinction from global temperature rise.

According to the North American Breeding Bird Survey, Allen's Hummingbird populations declined by 80% between 1968 and 2019.

Allen's Hummingbirds could lose 64% of their range in a 3 degree warming scenario.

But none of this will happen overnight. It's going to take all of us working together to build a brighter future for beloved birds and the places they need to survive. Will you start your annual donation and be one of the 478 donors we need today? Please give a gift that renews automatically every year and gives birds protection they can depend on. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
