Dear KAREN, The Piping Plover is a species at serious risk: Although the breeding population is increasing, the Great Lakes population is still just a fraction of what it once was. Habitat loss and degradation contribute to its decline, as does disturbance from people, pets, and wildlife near their nests. And it's one of the two-thirds of North American species at increasing risk of extinction from climate change. But, we're not willing to let the birds we love go extinct. Please join us in protecting birds like the Piping Plover: Start your dependable annual contribution right away and your first gift will be matched, up to $75,000.

From beloved songbirds like American Goldfinches to vulnerable shorebirds like Piping Plovers, many species are suffering from planetary warming. These impacts will only intensify unless we change course. But with support from bird lovers like you, our efforts give birds a better chance at survival. Right now, we're preserving important habitats, advancing climate action, advocating for sound policy, and supporting sustainable resource management. And together, we've shown that where there's action, there's hope—bringing many beloved species back from the brink using our proven combination of empowering education, committed advocacy, and expert on-the-ground conservation.

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 are committed to protecting birds and their habitats, today and tomorrow—and we're relying on steady, dependable support from committed friends like you to make it all possible. Please join us in protecting birds like the Piping Plover: Start your dependable annual contribution right away and your first gift will be matched, up to $75,000. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
