Rufous Hummingbird.

Last opportunity of the day: Make 2X the impact before it’s too late.

If there was ever a time when birds needed this community to come together for their protection, it’s right now. The Rufous Hummingbird has suffered steep population declines—losing 50% or more of their populations in just 50 years. And sadly, they’re far from alone: This copper-colored beauty is one of 37 Orange Alert Tipping Point species that have experienced long-term population losses and accelerated declines within the past decade. Please start an annual donation right away to give the birds the protection they need, not just today but tomorrow, too. Thanks to a group of generous donors your first gift could be matched, up to $500,000, to bring birds back from the brink.

Drawing on a century of expertise, we use research, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation to protect birds and the places they need. And with you by our side, our committed action for birds is already making an impact across the country. Together, we’re restoring and improving the resilience of important landscapes, successfully advocating for climate legislation at the state and federal level, transforming communities into places where birds flourish, and more. It’s because of generous friends like you that birds have a fighting chance for a better future. Start an annual gift that renews automatically each year and gives birds dependable protection. Please don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to double your impact for birds—make your annual gift now and your first contribution could be matched! Sincerely, National Audubon Society
