2X Match: Make an even greater impact for birds in crisis

Dear KAREN, An early spring may sound lovely after a long winter—but it can be disastrous for wildlife. As temperatures rise, millions of birds across all species groups migrate earlier. Their hard-wired migratory behaviors are not adapting fast enough to keep pace with a rapidly changing climate. For birds like the Broad-Tailed Hummingbird, Common Loon, and Scarlet Tanager, this mismatch could prove deadly. We're not willing to let the birds we love disappear—and we know you won't, either. Will you start your annual donation now to help protect them, today and tomorrow? For a limited time, your first gift will be matched, up to $50,000 for birds and the places they need.

Although we bring you unfortunate news about what birds are facing, let us assure you: We still have the power to shape the future for the birds we all love. If we act now and keep global warming at the lowest projected warming scenario, all species will be better off. Together with supporters like you, our comprehensive program of research, advocacy, education, and hands-on conservation is a powerful force in preventing future extinctions and helping declining populations recover.

The birds you love are in crisis

Altered seasons threaten migratory birds.

This challenge is compounded by habitat loss, extreme weather, and fatal building collisions.

We can change course for the birds we love if we act now.

This work—and all the critical work we do on behalf of birds—can only happen with the support of bird lovers like you. So please, start your annual donation right away while your first gift will be matched, up to $50,000, to protect birds like the Broad-Tailed Hummingbird. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
