We’re launching our Giving Tuesday Challenge right now and you can help us unlock $200,000 for birds in need.
This opportunity couldn’t come at a more critical time: 3 billion birds have unfortunately been wiped off the face of the planet in just the past 50 years. And with two-thirds of North American birds facing extinction, we must act now to turn things around for the birds we love.
There are nearly 400 birds on the brink. Species like the Scarlet Tanager, Piping Plover, Rufous Hummingbird, and Allen’s Hummingbird are all at an increasing risk of extinction due to climate change. The Scarlet Tanager in particular is on track to lose a staggering 68% of their range across the United States in a three degree warming scenario.
But, with the support of dedicated bird lovers like you, Audubon is working tirelessly to combat climate change by championing clean energy solutions, advocating for reduced carbon emissions, helping to maintain healthy forests and supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
We’re in a code-red emergency for birds.

We’re committed to using our more than a century of expertise and advocacy at the local, state, and federal levels, along with on-the-ground conservation to safeguard birds and their habitats. But they're up against unprecedented challenges and we need all devoted bird champions to join with us in their protection.
