[Match Update] We can’t let these songbirds go silent forever

Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

It’s not too late—but there’s no time to lose. 2X match offer active now.

Dear KAREN,

In leafy woodlands of the East, the Rose-breasted Grosbeak often stays out of sight among the treetops. Sadly, these broad-chested beauties are experiencing a decline in the leafy Eastern forests where their rich whistled song is often heard in the spring and summer. If climate change continues unchecked, 66% of their current breeding range could be lost.

We can’t let these songbirds go silent forever. Will you commit to their protection with an annual gift today? We’re counting on 187 bird lovers to join together before midnight tomorrow while your first gift will be matched, up to $500,000.

For more than a century, our rigorous science has identified which birds are threatened, which habitats are most in need of protection, and which birds will most benefit from our efforts. Those findings guide our work on their behalf: restoring and protecting intact forests, leading nationwide community science efforts, and advocating for bird-friendly policies. With your support, we speak out for stronger protections so that all birds can be safe and fight for the climate action birds and people urgently need.

But we can’t do it all without this incredible community. You are a vulnerable bird’s best hope for survival. Please start your dependable gift today while your first gift will be matched, up to $500,000. Your annual sustaining gift is a convenient way to provide uninterrupted resources our teams can depend on in their work to defend birds year after year.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
