Birds are sounding the alarm for all of us. They need your help today. ([link removed])

Extreme heat is having devastating impacts on our birds. Baby birds are tumbling from their nests, ending up at wildlife rehabilitation centers dehydrated and in desperate need of fluids. Among the most susceptible to high temperatures? Birds like the American Goldfinch, Cactus Wren, and Caspian Tern.

But they can’t ask for your help, so that’s why we’re asking for them: Will you be one of the 60 caring friends we need to start a monthly donation to protect the birds we love? If we can get to 1,000 new monthly gifts by Giving Tuesday, your gift will help unlock an additional $200,000 thanks to a group of generous donors—so please, start right away. ([link removed])

The American Goldfinch could lose up to 100% of its summer range at a 3 degree warming scenario. That’s why we’re working to lessen the impacts of climate change for birds like the American Goldfinch. By stabilizing carbon emissions and holding warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, 76 percent of vulnerable species will be better off, and nearly 150 species would no longer be vulnerable to extinction from climate change.

Along with volunteers, Audubon is working tirelessly at the state and federal levels to bring birds back from the brink. Recently, Louisiana broke ground on the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion project which will be the country’s single-largest ecosystem restoration project which will help birds like the Bald Eagle and the Roseate Spoonbill.

 

Climate-vulnerable birds are counting on you

Severe heat waves are predicted to increase in intensity, frequency, and duration in the coming years.

According to the North American Breeding Bird Survey, the American Goldfinch lost over a quarter of their population between 1966 and 2019.

 

We’re stronger when we work together, but time is of the essence for many of our beloved birds. If you’re one of the 60 new monthly donors we need before midnight you can help unlock an additional $200,000 for birds. Will you join our Giving Tuesday Challenge right now? ([link removed])
