For the sake of beloved birds, we must slow climate change

Start an annual gift today to get your first gift matched!

Did you see? Earlier today, we launched a new match offer to safeguard birds, including timeless songbirds like the American Goldfinch. At a time when 3 billion birds have vanished in just the last 50 years, and more than half of U.S. bird species are in decline, we're in a code-red crisis. We need to do everything in our power to protect those that remain.

Dear KAREN, It seems like they'll always be there: The birds that bring joy to our everyday lives. But if we don't act to curb climate change, we're facing a future of more extreme weather events, including higher temperatures and droughts. These changes could threaten many birds including beloved songbirds, like the American Goldfinch, and other vulnerable species like the Piping Plover, further shrinking already fragile habitats. It's not too late to keep songbirds singing and build a brighter future for all birds in need. Your annual gift will help make a lasting impact—and starting today, your first gift will be matched, up to $75,000. Make 2X the impact now »

The situation is dire—but with help from people like you, we can protect birds and the places they need. We can decide what the future holds for the birds we all love. That's why we're working to increase the resilience of birds and important habitats, while also fighting for cleaner energy and reduced carbon emissions. With your support, we're 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.

But we can do more—and we must while we can. Please, while there is still time to protect precious birds like the American Goldfinch: Start your annual donation while your first gift will be matched, up to $75,000. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
