389 species. That’s how many birds—a staggering two-thirds of North American species—are at increasing risk of climate extinction. Some are endangered today, already on the brink. That list is sure to get longer… unless we take immediate action together.
This code-red crisis requires immediate attention:
The Piping Plover is endangered in 13 states and nearly gone from the Great Lakes
389 North American bird species are at increasing risk of climate extinction
We’ve lost 3 billion birds in the span of a single human lifetime
Despite recently showing signs of recovery thanks to Audubon’s coastal stewardship work, the Piping Plover’s future is far from assured. That’s why we work through our nationwide network to deliver hands-on conservation efforts that are locally focused and guided by region- and bird-specific expertise. Our efforts help create a blueprint for protecting vulnerable birds across the range of habitats where we work.
