[2X MATCH] Celebrate 120 years of bird conservation
Your first annual gift will be matched to protect birds for generations to come.
Snowy Owl.
KAREN,
An icon of the frozen north, Snowy Owls are impressive to behold—large, powerful, and with snowy white feathers perfectly evolved to blend in with their icy habitat. But this striking raptor also symbolizes the fragility of tundra ecosystems. If we don’t take action to slow climate change, 93 percent—nearly all—of the icy tundra where the owls nest and breed will become too warm to support them.
Over the last 120 years, we’ve shown that hope lies in action. In 1980, Audubon played a key role in passing the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. By harnessing our powerful grassroots policy approach, we succeeded in protecting nearly 80 million acres of wilderness—including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where more than 200 bird species from six continents breed and stopover.
