Did you know the Allen’s Hummingbird has seen its populations plummet by a staggering 80% between 1968 and 2019? And our 2019 climate report revealed they are one of the almost 400 species of North American birds at increasing risk of extinction.
Sadly, they aren’t alone. In fact, two-thirds of bird species in North America are at risk of climate extinction. That’s why there isn’t a moment to waste.
We know the time to act to combat climate change is now.
That’s why we’re responding with an unprecedented combination of strategies. From advancing policies that reduce carbon emissions and support clean energy to leading land management practices that will mitigate the impacts of climate change and sea level rise, we’re at the frontlines of this fight.
389 Species Are On the Brink
Two-thirds of North American birds are at increasing risk of extinction from global temperature rise.
According to the North American Breeding Bird Survey, Allen’s Hummingbird populations declined by 80% between 1968 and 2019.
Allen’s Hummingbirds could lose 64% of their range in a 3 degree warming scenario.
But none of this will happen overnight. It’s going to take all of us working together to build a brighter future for beloved birds and the places they need to survive.
