Smoke and silence. That’s all that is left after megafires rip through hundreds of square miles of what was once pristine bird habitat. Even forest birds like the California Spotted Owl, known to thrive in the aftermath of wildfires, struggle to rebuild in the scorched terrain.

Climate change is occurring 20 times faster today than during any historical period over the past 2 million years. That means that birds are facing more extreme weather like intense heat, terrible droughts, and severe flooding. Historic megafires leave nothing more than smoke and silence in their wake, scorching massive acres of forest. Even birds like the California Spotted Owl, known to thrive in the aftermath of wildfires, are unable to return to them.

But there is hope. We’re uniquely suited to meet this urgent moment—and with you by our side year after year with your annual sustaining gift, we can give birds like the California Spotted Owl a safer, brighter future. Start your annual donation before midnight tomorrow and your first gift will be matched, up to $75,000, thanks to a group of generous donors.

With 3 billion birds lost since 1970 and two out of every three North American species now at increasing risk of climate extinction, we need to work harder than ever to protect the birds we love. Guided by research, we’re pushing for reduced emissions, greener energy, and more resilient landscapes—all of which will be critical to mitigate the effects of the climate crisis. And with your support, we’re getting results.

With more than a century of conservation expertise behind us, we know what it takes to protect birds and their habitats today and tomorrow. Can we count on you to help with an annual donation? Until midnight tomorrow, your first gift will be matched up to $75,000.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
