It's World Water Day. Help give birds the water they need, today and tomorrow.

Dear KAREN, Today, on World Water Day, we're reminded how precious water is for birds and people alike. The Supreme Court's decision in Sackett v. EPA last year means that wetlands and small water bodies across the country lost federal protections—and while some states are looking at ways to bolster wetlands protections, many others are exploring ways to weaken regulations further. But rest assured that we won't stop fighting to protect the places birds need thanks to support from generous people like you. The more wetlands we lose, the more birds like the Common Loon and Eared Grebe are at risk. We must flock together for birds' protection before it's too late. Make your annual donation before midnight tonight while your first gift will be matched, up to $30,000, for climate-vulnerable birds like the Common Loon.

Using our proven combination of committed advocacy, empowering education, and expert on-the-ground conservation, we have achieved recent water protection wins for birds and their habitats, including restoring wetlands in Louisiana and passing legislation to increase funding for water projects that impact birds and communities around the country. Thanks to support from caring bird lovers like you, we're supporting sustainable resource management, protecting wildlife, and building community resilience in places like the Great Lakes, the Connecticut River, the Everglades and South Florida, the Delaware River basin, and the Mississippi River.

The birds you love are at risk

Human activities have significantly impacted birds that depend heavily on water.

Climate change, water fluctuations, and pollution remain serious threats to their survival.

We've already lost 3 billion birds in the span of a human lifetime.

So please, celebrate World Water Day by starting your annual gift before midnight, while your first gift will be matched, up to $30,000. Don't miss this important chance to do your very best for birds >> Sincerely, National Audubon Society
