When it comes to droughts, the potential costs of climate change are too high for both birds and people. If this code-red crisis continues unchecked, more extreme weather events lie ahead—worsening the outlook for birds and their habitats.

17 new monthly donors needed to unlock $5,000

Giving Challenge Deadline: Midnight Tonight

After months of extreme weather in the summer of 2020, throngs of migratory waterbirds seeking rest and refueling were forced to cram together in the few pools of hot, stagnant water that remained in the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge in California. A perfect setting for the spread of disease, it was there that a massive outbreak of avian botulism killed 40,000 birds including Mallards, Northern Shovelers, and other species—the worst outbreak in 40 years.
As climate change intensifies, catastrophes like this could become more likely. We’re seeing terrible impacts happening not just in California, but all over the country. For example, time is of the essence for developing long-term solutions to save Utah’s Great Salt Lake, a habitat that more than 10 million birds depend on. That’s why we’re asking dedicated bird lovers like you to join us with a monthly donation before midnight. Thanks to a group of generous donors, your gift will help unlock an additional $5,000 for climate-vulnerable birds like the Sandhill Crane. So please, be one of 17 friends we need before midnight.

We’ve lost 3 billion birds in the last 50 years and must protect those that remain.
We have shown that where there’s action, there’s hope—and together with supporters like you, we are building a brighter future for birds. Our proven combination of powerful advocacy, rigorous research, and on-the-ground conservation has helped give them safety, preserve key habitats, and achieve bold climate action. In California, we worked with partners to secure $10 million in emergency drought funding to create habitat for migratory waterbirds and we can do even more with your dependable donation.
Our committed action for birds is already making a positive impact. Where we work—and when you help—birds are better off. This is your last chance to make the most of this special Giving Challenge offer, so please don’t miss it: Start your monthly donation before midnight tonight while you can help unlock $5,000 for the birds you love.
