[2X Match Opportunity] This tiny hummingbird is facing a big problem

There's still time to give many climate-threatened birds a safer future. But we can't wait.

                                                               

Calliope Hummingbird.

Together, we can bring birds back. Make 2X the impact before midnight.

KAREN, Measuring about 3 inches long and weighing about one-tenth of an ounce, the Calliope Hummingbird is the smallest bird in North America. Despite its size, this beloved bird is able to survive cold summer nights at high elevations in the northern Rockies, and some migrate every year from Canada all the way to southern Mexico. But this tiny hummingbird is facing a big problem: If climate change continues unchecked, 67% of their current breeding range could be lost. There’s still time to give many climate-threatened birds a safer future—and there’s no better time than the eve of Giving Tuesday to give birds the help they so desperately need. To power our work for birds with reliable support, we’ve set an ambitious goal of 1,000 new monthly donors by Giving Tuesday. Will you make a monthly gift today while your first gift could be matched, thanks to a group of generous donors? Please be one of the 200 caring friends we’re counting on to join us before midnight tomorrow to keep pace on our goal and help bring birds back.

For 120 years, Audubon has protected birds and the places they need through our proven combination of science, advocacy, and hands-on conservation action. Our latest research identifies places where conservation can have the greatest impact—for birds, people, and the planet. These priority areas protect critical bird habitat, store carbon, and support communities that have historically been underrepresented in conservation. By focusing on places where these benefits intersect, we can help birds thrive, strengthen climate resilience, and ensure everyone shares in nature’s benefits—proving that what’s good for birds is good for all of us. It comes down to this: Where we work, birds are better off. But with so much at stake, we must do more. So ahead of Giving Tuesday, please start a monthly gift while your first gift could make 2X the impact. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
