Bird lovers rejoice at the sight of a Scarlet Tanager’s exotic plumage foraging among the treetops. But these black and red beauties are one of the 389 North American bird species facing increasing risk of climate extinction—a dire situation only made worse by the Supreme Court’s recent decision to limit the EPA’s ability to regulate carbon pollution and respond to the climate crisis.

We can’t let the Supreme Court have the last word. We must take immediate action to safeguard climate-vulnerable birds like the Scarlet Tanager before they disappear forever. Will you be one of the 44 new monthly donors we’re counting on to join us today? Thanks to a group of generous donors, your gift will help unlock an additional $5,000 to protect the birds you love.

The Court’s decision is a dangerous and damaging setback—and puts our communities, birds, and other wildlife at greater risk.

But this is not the end of the story: thanks to support from generous people like you Audubon is advocating for sweeping climate legislation. Bills like the Inflation Reduction Act represent a major step forward in the effort to meet our climate goals. And with more than a century of expertise on our side, we know what it takes to protect vulnerable birds.

Using our proven combination of committed advocacy, empowering education, and expert on-the-ground conservation—all guided by science and grounded in our shared love for birds—we’ve been able to give species a better chance at survival. And with your help, we’ll never stop fighting.

Right now, we’re working to get the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act passed. This is an innovative and cost-effective approach to the conservation of the more than 350 neotropical bird species—including the Scarlet Tanager—in the U.S. that travel to Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Canada every year.

This is the work you’ll make possible when you join us today. Please, don’t wait: Make your monthly gift right away while it will help unlock $5,000 more for birds and their habitats.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
