There are just a few hours left in our Giving Challenge for birds, and we’re still looking for 27 bird lovers to join us with a monthly gift and help unlock an additional $10,000 in support thanks to a generous group of donors. Will you be one of them?

Right now, birds are in a code-red crisis, and that includes the familiar favorites that we’re used to seeing in our backyards and gardens. We’ve seen a 26% decline among the birds in our communities in the last 50 years alone—and for some like the Rufous Hummingbird, that decline has been even more severe.

Unfortunately, this isn’t just a problem of the past: Two in three North American bird species are currently at increasing risk of climate extinction. When faced with these grim facts, it’s easy to think there’s nothing to be done; that we’ve missed our window to act.

But birds tell us it’s not too late—and that there’s no time to lose. Together, we can safeguard birds and the places they need.

Your consistent support powers our work to protect birds today and tomorrow. For more than a century, Audubon’s proven combination of rigorous science, committed advocacy, and expert on-the-ground conservation has helped provide a safer future for countless birds and their habitats.

We’re uniquely built for this challenging moment—but just how many birds we’re able to protect depends on the steady support from caring bird lovers like you. Please start your dependable gift right away and be one of the 27 new monthly donors we need to unlock an additional $10,000 for birds before midnight tonight.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
