It’s not too late—but there’s no time to lose. Early Earth Day match offer active now. ([link removed])

Tomorrow is Earth Day, a time to reaffirm our commitment to protecting the natural world and confronting the most serious threat to birds and people alike: Climate change. 2023 was the hottest year on record, and climate experts are now warning that we’re approaching the threshold beyond which our damage to the climate will rapidly become irreversible.

We can create a safer future for vulnerable birds. In fact, we already are. But we must do more while we can. Just how many birds we’re able to protect depends on steady support from committed bird lovers like you. So please, start your annual gift ahead of Earth Day and get your first gift matched for birds like the beloved Rufous Hummingbird. ([link removed])
