We’ve lost more than 50 million of the birds that spend part or all of their lives alongside us in and around our communities in the last 50 years. We might think they’ll always be there to provide the soundtrack of our daily lives, yet recent research tells us that many of these birds are facing a sustained decline—and for some, like the Rose-breasted Grosbeak, the future impacts of the climate crisis could silence them forever.
You might not see them, but step outside on a summer day and you may hear the Rose-breasted Grosbeak’s melodious song among the treetops. Sadly, research shows a staggering 29% loss of these broad-chested beauties in the last 50 years alone. Unless we come together to address the climate crisis now, even more could vanish.
There’s been a 26% decline among the beloved birds in our communities.
We’ve lost 3 billion birds in the span of a human lifetime.
389 North American bird species are at increasing risk of climate extinction.
Against the daunting challenges ahead, birds need a champion. And in you, they have one. It’s only through your generosity that Audubon can work to restore and protect intact forests, promote plants for birds, advocate for bird-friendly buildings, and so much more. With you by our side, we can create a safer, brighter future for the birds we love.
