Nesting along the rocky edges of the North Atlantic, the Atlantic Puffin draws bird lovers to the coasts of Maine and Canada each summer. Though once nearly extinct in the region, puffins made a remarkable comeback thanks to decades of conservation work led by Audubon. Today, however, their future is once again uncertain. As warming seas push their prey farther from shore, puffins face a growing web of threats—from overfishing and marine debris to oil spills—that put their hard-won recovery at risk.

Birds can’t ask for your help. So we’re asking for them: Will you start your annual gift today while your first gift will be matched, thanks to a group of generous donors?
