[Will you stand up for the Arctic Refuge one last time in 2018?]( [National Audubon Society]( [Snowy Owls.]( [Keep the Snowy Owl safe from the drive to drill. Last chance today for a 2X match]( Snowy Owl. The Snowy Owl is a canny hunter, sitting and patiently waiting to sense the scuttle of its prey. But a warming world means the Snowy Owl’s Arctic habitat is changing. Its sea ice perches are shrinking, its food supply dwindling, and its very existence under threat. Its future could hinge on what we do now. [Today, one final match extension multiplies the power of your protection—but it only lasts until midnight, so you’ll have to act fast. Make your best year-end gift right now to help ensure the survival of the mighty but vulnerable Snowy Owl.]( The accelerated pace of climate change in the Arctic—twice the global average—is melting away the Snowy Owl’s home, leaving its survival an open question. And should the administration claim more of this landscape for oil and gas drilling, the results could be worse than we want to imagine. We know they won’t hesitate, not for the sake of birds. And they’ve proven time and again that they’ll act without hesitation: Not even our best bird protection laws have been safe in their drive to drill, with devastating cuts made to the MBTA for the sake of industry. [But with your help, Audubon is ready to respond]( defend the birds we love from every threat that arises. Through solid science, empowering education, and principled advocacy, we have the expertise to fight for critical landscapes. Speak up for climate action. And uphold the laws that keep birds and their habitats safe. Now all we need is you. And time is of the essence. [This is your last chance today to ensure that your gift is matched dollar for dollar! Don’t let this moment pass without doing everything you can for this mighty Arctic raptor and all imperiled birds. Hurry—this special match extension is over as of midnight.]( Sincerely, The National Audubon Society [Donate Now]( Photo: Grant Eldridge/Audubon Photography Awards [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( National Audubon Society 225 Varick Street, New York, NY 10014 USA [(844) 428-3826](#) [audubon.org]( © 2018 National Audubon Society, Inc.
