It’s World Water Day! Match for new monthly givers

Your first three months of giving, doubled now [National Audubon Society]( [Monthly donors: Your first three months matched now!]( [Donate Now]( [Great Blue Heron. ]( Great Blue Heron. Today is World Water Day, when people all over the world say yes to our shared responsibility to protect this vital resource. But for this administration, it’s yet another day of discounting that duty—at a terrible cost to the natural world and the birds we love. On this day especially, we ask you to stand up for birds and the safe, clean water they need—and to commit to supporting our ongoing work to protect them. [Please make a monthly gift, starting today. Your regular contribution powers our long-term fight for their future—and your first three months will be matched for World Water Day, up to $25,000!]( Here’s a sobering truth: whether they’re seabirds or shorebirds, waterbirds or waders, birds are confronting water-related challenges wherever they live—a flood of harmful policy coming from the administration: Streams and wetlands threatened by efforts to roll back the Clean Water Plan. Rivers and lakes at risk under relaxed pollution regulation. Oceans and coastlines vulnerable now that the MBTA has been gutted. And all of it complicated by the global impact of climate change, ignored and even denied at the federal level. Protecting this precious resource is a long-term challenge. But we’re ready to embrace it, and committed to see it through. We think you are, too, so we’re thrilled to share [this special opportunity to help.]( When you become a dependable monthly donor, you become part of a powerful wave of change, joining other bird lovers who’ve helped bring about historic water conservation victories. Our best work, urgently needed now, depends on friends like you. We protect birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow, through advocacy, education, science, and hands-on conservation. [This World Water Day, please sustain this work by becoming a monthly donor. Remember, it will be matched, up to $25,000—so make your contribution now, when it will do double the good.]( Sincerely, The National Audubon Society [Donate Now]( Photo: Tim Kuhn/Audubon Photography Awards [$10]( [$15]( [$20]( [$35]( [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( National Audubon Society 225 Varick Street, New York, NY 10014 USA [(844) 428-3826](#) [audubon.org]( © 2018 National Audubon Society, Inc.
