Protect Birds in Need ([link removed])

The Great Lakes region was home to hundreds of nesting pairs of Piping Plovers. But that number has been decimated over the years. And by 1990, about a dozen pairs were left, concentrated in northern Michigan.

The Piping Plover is endangered or threatened across all of its range, which means we don’t have a moment to waste in protecting them for generations to come.

But our work to protect birds and the places they need can’t happen without generous support from people like you. That’s why we need 135 new donors before midnight to keep us on track. Will you help us hit our year-end goal? Thanks to a generous group of donors, all new gifts will be matched 2X up to $500,000. ([link removed])

There is reason to be hopeful for the long-term prospects of birds in need like the Piping Plover.

For the first time ever, captive-reared Piping Plovers were released outside of the state of Michigan, marking a major milestone for the species’ recovery efforts. And we’re filled with hope that we’ll be able to continue this progress throughout the Great Lakes.
