Birds are at a tipping point—but this Earth Day, you can do 2X as much to help.

Dear KAREN, With the sea level rising all along the Atlantic coast, longer fire seasons and drought in the West, and stronger hurricanes in the Gulf and Eastern seaboard, birds are already suffering from the effects of the climate crisis—effects that will only intensify unless we change course. But there's hope in action—and we have practical, effective solutions. Will you join us with an annual donation today to power our best work on behalf of birds like the Golden-winged Warbler? Right now, your first gift will go 2X as far, thanks to a special Earth Day match.

Drawing on a century of expertise, we use research, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation to protect birds and the places they need. And with you by our side, our committed action for birds is already making an impact across the country. We've helped secure more water for birds and people across the west, followed individual birds as they made their epic annual journeys across the hemisphere, secured important Lights Out wins in North Carolina and beyond, and recently celebrated a century of conservation work in Texas and New York.

The birds you cherish are at risk

3 billion birds have vanished in less than one human lifetime.

Two-thirds of North American bird species face the risk of climate extinction.

70+ species of birds have lost half of their populations in the past 50 years.

But there is more work to be done, so we're asking for your steadfast support ahead of Earth Day. Please be one of the caring bird lovers we're counting on to start an annual donation right away—and when you do, your first gift will be matched, up to $75,000. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
