Rising water levels destroying nests and killing chicks. Severe storms washing away entire nesting areas. This isn’t some far-off worst-case scenario—it’s the current nightmare facing birds like the beloved Piping Plover.
The Piping Plover is an endangered or threatened species in all parts of their range.
389 North American bird species are at increasing risk of climate extinction.
We’ve lost 3 billion birds in the span of a human lifetime.
We’re in the midst of a code-red crisis. But because birds have been telling us for quite some time that we must act—and because we have listened—we’re already protecting vulnerable birds in every landscape where we work. With the support of generous people like you, we've helped Piping Plover populations rebound, creating a blueprint for protecting vulnerable birds across a wide range of habitats.
