Time is running out to make twice the impact for birds like the American Goldfinch and the Piping Plover.

Donate Now

Guided by science and informed by more than a century of experience, we identify which birds and habitats are most in need of protection and which will most benefit from our efforts—findings that drive effective action across our unrivaled network. But we can't do this work without you. So please, be one of the caring friends we're counting to start an annual gift right away. Remember: when you act now, your first gift will be matched, up to $75,000!

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

Dear KAREN, A typical summer sight is a male American Goldfinch flying over a meadow, flashing golden in the sun, calling perchickory as it bounds up and down in flight. But warming temperatures and violent summer storms foreshadow a climate catastrophe that threatens their future—and ours. To make sure these songbirds not only survive, but thrive, it is critical to preserve their vital breeding and nesting grounds. Please be one of the caring friends we're counting on to start an annual donation right away while your first gift will be matched, up to $75,000, to build a brighter future for the birds you love.

We have the power to protect birds in need and our collective futures. If we take action now and keep global warming at the lowest projected warming scenario, more than three quarters of at risk bird species will be better off. That includes especially vulnerable species like the Piping Plover. That's why, together with supporters like you, we are addressing both the impacts of climate change and its causes. Our comprehensive program of research, advocacy, education, and hands-on conservation is a powerful force in preventing future extinctions and helping declining populations recover.

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.

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 $75,000, to protect birds like the American Goldfinch and the Piping Plover. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
