The sweet melodies of birds like the stunning Baltimore Oriole bring joy to every bird lover. But many of the places they need to survive no longer support functioning ecosystems or provide healthy spaces for most birds to thrive. Billions of birds have vanished in the past 50 years, including a staggering 44% population decline for the Baltimore Oriole—we must stop these heartbreaking losses before it is too late.
And the good news is you can amplify your impact right this moment.
Climate change is creating a world that is unfortunately more threatening to birds than ever. But we have the power to reshape it and forge communities that sustain birds and people alike. Audubon promotes the use of native plants which provide ideal food and shelter for local birds. We’ve partnered with cities and municipalities to reduce the use of lights during critical migratory periods. And we’re supporting chapters across the country that champion local and national legislation to protect birds now—and for years to come.
