Help the Birds That Share Your World

Dear KAREN, Loss of food, shelter, and habitat in urban and suburban communities are all huge drivers in the continued decline of beloved community birds. We've lost 50 million birds in the past 50 years and with 389 North American species at increasing risk of extinction from climate change, we don't have a moment to waste. The Rose-breasted Grosbeak is one species already feeling the impacts of our changing world, seeing its population decline by 30% in just the past 50 years. Thanks to a generous group of donors, we're matching all new gifts made by December 31st—up to $500,000. In order to stay on track and close this year out strong we still need 108 new donors before midnight. Please choose a gift that renews automatically year after year to give birds the consistent protection they need.

One way Audubon is working to protect the birds who spend part or all of their lives alongside us is by promoting the use of native plants, which provide more choices of food and shelter for birds and other wildlife with our Plants for Birds program. We know that native plants are best for birds and wildlife—and demonstration gardens are popping up across the United States to showcase plantings that are as beautiful as they are beneficial. And with your help KAREN, we can expand our outreach to even more places across the country.

The Birds You Love Need Help

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.

Rose-breasted Grosbeak populations have declined by 30% in the past 50 years.

In order to continue our important work, we need dedicated bird lovers with us every step of the way. Before December 31st, we're matching all new gifts—up to $500,000. Please start a gift that renews automatically each year and gives birds like the Rose-breasted Grosbeak protection they can depend on. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
