URGENT: Blistering heat waves put birds at serious risk. You are their best hope for survival. “Dangerous, record-smashing heat wave to scorch millions.” KAREN, the headlines are as heartbreaking as they are dire: Over the last week, extreme heat waves have sent temperatures soaring, and birds are suffering the severe consequences. In California, a marine heat wave caused a slew of seabird deaths—and scientists fear that a historic El Niño could soon worsen the die-off. In the midst of this code-red crisis—and as their very survival is threatened—birds like the Common Murre are relying on your support now more than ever.

Your annual gift will renew automatically each year, providing uninterrupted resources our teams can depend on in their work year after year. Sadly, severe heat waves like this are only predicted to increase in intensity, frequency, and duration in the coming years—and even birds not directly killed by extreme heat can suffer long-term health damage as a result. But we’ve shown that there’s hope in action, and we have practical, effective solutions. With more than 120 years of conservation expertise under our wing, our research is powering a path forward to help more birds like the Common Murre survive at this critical time. And through important advocacy and hands-on conservation action to maintain and protect the places birds need, we’re pushing for the large-scale change it will take to ease habitat loss and help reverse the climbing temperatures of our current climate crisis. This work—and all the critical work we do on behalf of birds—can only happen with the support of bird lovers like you. Start your annual donation right away while your first gift can still go twice as far to build a more sustainable future for birds and people alike.
