Birds can’t escape the extreme heat without you 🌡️

Birds can’t wait. Make 2X the impact today.

Common Murre. Birds can’t escape the extreme heat without you Seabirds are washing ashore in California, starved to death as record-setting ocean temperatures decimate their food supply. Scientists fear that a historic El Niño could soon worsen the die-off. Catastrophes like this don't have to happen—but they're becoming all too common as the climate crisis worsens. Birds can’t ask for your help. So, we’re asking for them: Will you start an annual donation now to protect the birds we love? For a limited time, your first gift could be matched, up to $10,000 thanks to a group of generous donors—so please, don’t wait another minute. If climate change continues unchecked, more extreme weather events, including heat waves, lie ahead—worsening the impacts on birds and their habitats. Yet we are not without hope. Thanks to generous support from people like you, we’re building a more sustainable future for birds like the Common Murre. With more than 120 years of protecting birds under our wing, our proven combination of research, advocacy, education, and hands-on conservation is a powerful force in preventing future extinctions, helping declining populations recover, and safeguarding the places birds need to survive. But we depend on your support to make it all possible—and birds can’t wait. So please, start your annual donation right away while your first gift can still go twice as far. Your annual gift will renew automatically each year, providing uninterrupted resources our teams can depend on in their work year after year.
