“A strategic approach to bird conservation is needed to arrest declines of birds before they reach crisis levels.” That’s how the latest State of the Birds report characterized the situation facing the Rufous Hummingbird and 69 other birds who have already lost more than 50% of their populations in the last 50 years. These birds are on track to lose another 50% in the coming decades if conservation efforts do not improve.
We must urgently do more to bring back these “Tipping Point” species before it’s too late. And with your support, we can. So please, be one of the 31 caring friends we need to join us with a monthly gift before midnight. Remember: Thanks to a group of generous donors, your first monthly donation will be matched, up to $50,000, in honor of Giving Tuesday.
