Join the Giving Tuesday celebration!

Your gift doubled for Giving Tuesday. [National Audubon Society]( Sandhill Crane. [Twice the power to fight for birds]( Since we wrote to you earlier today about Audubon’s Giving Tuesday match, your fellow bird lovers have answered with a new wave of generosity. [Now, we urge you to join them with your gift to help us reach our match goal. Time is of the essence—especially when birds like the Sandhill Crane are facing unprecedented threats to their survival.]( With its race to expand oil drilling in the Arctic Refuge, the administration has put a target on the back of the Sandhill Crane, and nearly 150 at-risk species of bird that rely on the territory. Because of the region’s remote location, an oil spill would be impossible to contain or clean up—and forever damage this bird’s summer breeding and nesting grounds. What’s more, they want to sink drilling equipment deep in Alaska’s federal waters—a first, and an urgent danger to the birds of its seas and coasts. And this all takes place amid the administration’s failure to act on climate change, which is warming the Arctic twice as fast as the rest of the planet. Just last week they tried to bury the release of the National Climate Assessment, as if ignoring the truth were enough to change the facts. One disturbing fact about climate change: Arctic drilling would exacerbate it. We should all be outraged by this all-out assault on one of our country’s most pristine and fragile places and its wildlife—but anger is not enough. We must act. [The gift you make right now,]( which will be instantly doubled, will help keep the Arctic safe from drilling so the majestic Sandhill Crane and all Arctic birds can continue soaring high. Remember, this Giving Tuesday match ends at midnight tonight, so don’t miss this opportunity to do your best for birds like the Sandhill Crane. [Please make your generous gift right now, while it will go twice as far to protect birds and their habitats.]( For the birds we love, David Yarnold President & CEO.
