The Birds You Love Need Support; Burrowing Owl

Don't miss this opportunity to get your gift matched for birds in need

Dear KAREN,

Sometimes called 'howdy birds' by cowboys because of how they seemed to nod in greeting from the entrances to their burrows, the Western Burrowing Owl sadly lost one-third of their population from 1956 and 2016. And after losing an estimated 15+ million acres of their sagebrush steppe habitat as a result of wildfires, these extraordinary owls are calling out for your help.

Will you answer the call from vulnerable birds like them with action? Please start your dependable gift right away and be one of the new annual donors we're counting on to join us while your first gift will be matched up to $50,000 to protect birds and the places they need to survive.

Fires have led to widespread habitat destruction, declining reproduction rates, and increased mortality—further straining species already under pressure from environmental instability. But we are not without hope. Our research powers our best path forward to help more birds survive at this critical time. Through advocacy and hands-on conservation action to maintain and protect resilient landscapes across the nation, we're pushing for the large-scale change it will take to ease habitat loss and help mitigate the impacts of the climate crisis.

You can change their fate

Climate change is intensifying wildfire seasons globally.

Wildfires present severe challenges for bird populations, in some cases causing significant population decline.

There's still time to change course, but we must act now.

With more than a century of conservation expertise, we know what it takes to protect birds and their habitats. And with your support, we can. So please, start an annual donation while your first gift will be matched, up to $50,000, for birds and their habitats.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
