Match extension: Giving Tuesday is past, but birds still need you!

Allen's Hummingbird.

2X Match extended! There’s still time to bring birds back

Dear KAREN,

We’ll cut to the chase. You know that birds are in trouble. With more than 3 billion birds lost in the past 50 years, plus 389 species with their survival threatened by climate change, birds need all the help they can get.

The good news is there’s still time for you to help—and we’re calling on 60 more bird lovers to help bring birds back by making a monthly gift today.

Thanks to a group of generous donors, we’re extending our Giving Tuesday 2X match challenge. Start your monthly donation by tomorrow and your first monthly gift could be matched 2X up to $10,000.

It doesn’t matter how small or fast a bird is. Climate change can still pose a threat to its survival. The gem-colored Allen’s Hummingbird is a joy to watch as it flits from flower to flower. But its narrow range on the west coast of California and Mexico makes it vulnerable to heat and drought. If we don’t take action to fight climate change, 64% of its current breeding range could be lost.

Birds can’t ask for your help, but we can. It’s up to us to advocate for legislation to protect the climate, vulnerable birds, and the places they need. It’s up to us to do crucial conservation work to protect key habitats and ecosystems. And we aims to do all that and more—but we can’t do it without friends like you.

Will you be one of the 60 more committed supporters that birds need today? Start your monthly gift by tomorrow, and your first gift could be matched 2X, and do double the good for the birds you love.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
