As their very survival is threatened, birds like the American Goldfinch are relying on you

Your first annual gift will now be matched 2X.

American Goldfinch.

Make 2X the impact for the birds you love

Dear KAREN, With their brilliant colors, bouncy flight, and musical call notes, American Goldfinches are summer favorites in open habitats across much of North America. But if climate change continues unchecked, they could disappear from two-thirds of their present breeding range. In the midst of this code-red climate emergency—and as their very survival is threatened—birds rely on your support now more than ever. Two-thirds of North American birds are at increasing risk of extinction from climate change including beloved songbirds like American Goldfinches and vulnerable shorebirds like Piping Plovers. So please, start your annual donation right away. Thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift will be matched, up to $75,000—but only for a limited time!

Without immediate climate action, more extreme weather events, including drought, lie ahead—worsening the impacts on birds and their habitats. That's why we aren't waiting to act: With your support, we are defending the laws that protect birds at risk, promoting strong new legislation like the Recovering America's Wildlife Act, keeping important landscapes and waters resilient, and fighting for the bold climate action birds need now.

Climate change is putting birds at serious risk.

These beloved songbirds could disappear from two-thirds of their present breeding range.

Extreme weather like heat waves and storms endanger young birds.

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

We can still decide what the future holds for the birds we all love. Start your annual gift today to protect birds like the American Goldfinch and the Piping Plover while your first gift will be doubled. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
