It might be hard to wrap your head around it, but North America has lost more than 1 in 4 birds in a mere half a century. There are plummeting bird populations across all habitats. Scientists call it a “tipping point” for birds like the Rufous Hummingbird—the point of no return.
Our research identifies which birds are threatened, which habitats are most in need of protection, and which birds will most benefit from our efforts—findings that drive our expert on-the-ground conservation work.
With you by our side, Audubon can continue to tackle challenges head-on and work hard to protect birds like the Rufous Hummingbird. This includes restoring and protecting intact forests; promoting native plants; advocating for bird-friendly buildings; and working for practical, effective solutions to the urgent problem of climate change—just as we have for decades.
