Dear Audubon Advocate,

Right now, two out of every three North American bird species face an increasing risk of extinction as climate change worsens. For example, Allen’s Hummingbird populations have plummeted by a staggering 88% since 1970—and without immediate climate action, they could lose most of their wintering range by the end of the century.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed new limits to reduce climate pollution from power plants and slow global temperature rise. By acting now, we can protect our most vulnerable birds like Allen’s Hummingbirds and create healthier communities. 
  
Add your voice: Urge the EPA to set the strong standards needed to reduce carbon emissions from coal and natural gas power plants.

The EPA’s proposal would set strong limits on one of the largest sources of harmful air pollution that not only contributes to climate change, but also impacts the health and well-being of communities living near or downwind of our nation’s fossil-fuel power plants. This bold action is a common-sense approach to embracing the future of clean energy. Reducing pollution from power plants is crucial to meeting our climate goals and creating a healthier future for people and wildlife.

Audubon’s latest climate report, Survival by Degrees, found that two-thirds of North American bird species will be vulnerable to extinction if global temperatures continue to rise at the current rate. We must act now to reduce climate pollution and slow the rise in global temperatures.

Birds tell us it is not too late, but there is no time to lose. Send a letter to the EPA today to demonstrate overwhelming public support for reducing pollution from power plants.
