Right now, two out of every three North American bird species face an increasing risk of extinction as the climate crisis worsens, including those like the Allen’s Hummingbird that play a unique role in the health and biodiversity of our planet. At a time when we’ve already lost 3 billion birds in the last 50 years, we can’t let any more critical species disappear.
The Allen’s Hummingbird is a species in a worrying decline. Their populations have plummeted by a staggering 88% since 1970—and without immediate climate action, they could lose most of their wintering range by the end of the century. And because this essential pollinator plays a unique role in their surrounding ecosystem, few species will fill the void when they are gone—extending the impact to all the plant species they pollinate.
