[2X Match] Will you flock to the aid of the Mountain Plover?

Mountain Plover.

100 more bird-lovers needed by midnight tonight

Dear KAREN,

For 70 beloved bird species, we’re nearing a disastrous tipping point. More than 50% of their populations have disappeared within the past 50 years—and scientists have found they’re on a path to lose another 50% in the decades to come. That’s a population crash that some species may not survive.

But this bleak future isn’t written in stone. We have the power to change it. And if all of us who love birds come together for their protection, we have the power to bring birds back.

That’s why we’ve set a critical goal of 1,000 new monthly donors joining us by Giving Tuesday. We can hit it, if 100 caring bird lovers start today. Support birds with a dependable monthly gift right now. Your first gift will be matched 2X, up to $50,000, so don’t miss this chance to double your impact for birds.

One of these tipping point birds is the Mountain Plover. Despite its name, this plover nests mostly in prairie grasses, where it’s vulnerable to drought, heat, and wildfires. If we don’t take steps to rein in climate change, 76% of its current breeding range could be lost… putting its very survival at stake.

But as we’ve said, none of this is inevitable. Fighting back against climate change will help birds and humans alike, and the sooner we act, the better our hopes to bring birds back.

So this Giving Tuesday, let’s turn this tipping point into a turning point, and rally to the support of our beloved birds. Add your support by starting your monthly gift today and be the friend birds need. Remember, your first gift will be matched 2X up to $50,000—so please do your best for birds today.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
