The Baltimore Oriole’s striking orange-and-black plumage makes it one of the most recognizable—and beloved—North American species. While community favorites like these feel as though they’ll be ever-present in our lives, science shows a 26% decline among birds in our communities in the past 50 years, including a staggering 44% loss of the Baltimore Oriole. And unless we address the climate crisis now, even more could vanish.
But we’re not without hope: Audubon has the experience and far-reaching impact needed to restore vital habitats for the birds in our communities through programs like Plants for Birds and Bird-Friendly Buildings. We’ve got rigorous research and over a century of expertise on our side to advance essential policies and protections and take bold climate action that will help birds like the Baltimore Oriole. With your vital support, we have the power to transform our communities into places where birds flourish.
