Of all of our 'shorebirds,' the Mountain Plover is the one most disconnected from the shore, generally living miles from water in the dry country of the west. The short-grass prairie where it once thrived has been largely converted to farmland, forcing these birds to seek new habitat in grassland overgrazed by cattle. Still, this pallid plover’s future remains at risk: If we fail to take climate action, 76% of its current breeding range could be lost.

We're not going to sit by and let that happen—and we know you won't either. To power our work for birds with reliable support, we’ve set an ambitious goal of 1,000 new monthly donors by Giving Tuesday. To keep pace on our goal, please be one of the 100 bird lovers we’re counting on to start a monthly donation before midnight. Thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift could be matched, up to $50,000, to help bring birds back.
