Midnight deadline: Give birds a safer future this Earth Day

Dear KAREN, Earth Day is almost over—and so is your chance to have your annual gift go even further by getting your first gift matched, up to $75,000, for birds and our planet. As you read this, tiny Rufous Hummingbirds are facing a big problem: They've lost two-thirds of their population in the past 50 years alone—and they're on track to lose another 50% in the coming decades if conservation efforts do not improve. The situation is dire—but we've shown that where there's action, there's hope. Now, we're counting on bird lovers like you to join us with an annual donation to protect birds and the places they need to survive. And until midnight tonight, your first gift will be matched, up to $75,000, to provide a brighter future for the birds we love. Will you donate right now?

On behalf of birds and guided by science, we have practical and effective solutions to address the urgent and interconnected problems of biodiversity loss, habitat degradation, and climate change. With your support, we're restoring and improving the resilience of important landscapes, successfully advocating for climate legislation at the state and federal level, transforming communities into places where birds flourish, and securing the space and clean air and water that birds and people need to live and thrive.

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.

It comes down to this: Where we work—and when you help—birds are better off. Please start an annual donation this Earth Day while, thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift will be matched for birds and their habitats. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
