California Spotted Owl.

Your impact doubled—but only until midnight tonight!

If you've been following recent news around wildfires and air quality, you may have seen that Canada’s current fire season is already the worst since modern recordkeeping began in 1983. And in the United States, record-breaking forest fires fueled by climate change are unfortunately becoming an all-too-common occurrence. Even birds accustomed to wildfire, like the California Spotted Owl, are struggling to rebuild in the scorched terrain.

In the face of this code-red crisis, you are the best hope birds have. Start your annual gift before midnight tonight while, thanks to a group of generous donors, your first donation will be matched, up to $5,000, for birds and their habitats. Your annual gift will renew automatically each year, providing uninterrupted resources our teams can depend on in their work year after year.

As fires burn bigger, hotter, and more frequently due to climate change, decimated habitat doesn’t have time to regenerate before burning again—erasing the mosaic of open space, shrubs, and century-old trees. But these massive fires aren’t inevitable. Together with bird lovers like you, we’re maintaining and protecting resilient landscapes across the nation, pushing for the large-scale change it will take to ease habitat loss and help reverse the climate crisis.

Megafires threaten critical bird habitats

Climate change has led to an increase in wildfire season length, wildfire frequency, and burned area.

If climate change continues unchecked, more extreme weather events, including wildfires, drought, and extreme heat, lie ahead.

We’re in the midst of a global biodiversity crisis, with 3 billion birds lost in the last 50 years.

You give birds their best chance at survival when you join our efforts: the rigorous research, committed advocacy, empowering education, and hands-on conservation that makes up over a century of work. We’re looking for a few more bird lovers to start an annual recurring donation to help build a safer future for birds—and when you give before midnight tonight, your first gift will be matched, up to $5,000, for the birds we love.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
