Protect birds like the American Goldfinch with 2X the power

Dear KAREN, As you read this, two out of every three North American bird species—including the beloved American Goldfinch and vulnerable Piping Plover—face an increasing risk of extinction due to climate change. At a time when we've already lost 3 billion birds in the last 50 years, we can't let any more disappear. The extinction crisis facing birds is not a future problem. It's a current one—and we must take immediate action. Remember: For a limited time, your first annual gift will be matched, up to $75,000. Make 2x the impact now »

The good news is that with your support, we can reverse this alarming trend for birds and mitigate the effects of climate change on people and the planet by focusing on nature-based climate solutions. When we conserve bird habitat, we do more than protect biodiversity—we invest in the critical carbon-reducing benefits these ecosystems provide to combat climate change. Together with bird lovers like you, we're working to increase the resilience of birds and important habitats, while also fighting for cleaner energy and reduced carbon emissions.

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.

But our best efforts depend on you. Make an annual donation right away while your first gift will be matched, up to $75,000, for birds like the American Goldfinch and the Piping Plover. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
