Get between anti-conservationists and birds

Your $1=$2 for National Audubon Society v. Department of the Interior. [National Audubon Society]( [Brown Pelican.]( Brown Pelican. [Save the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Your gift doubled right now.]( Unprecedented. Shocking. Dangerous. That’s the administration’s intent to gut the Migratory Bird Treaty Act—an unprecedented attack that demands a forceful response. To uphold this crucial protection for the sake of the birds it shields, Audubon has filed a federal suit. And in the coming year, now more than ever, we need you to stand with us. [Together, let’s fight for the law that protects the birds we all treasure. Please make your most generous year-end gift today, when a one-day match meets it dollar for dollar, doubling your impact.]( Compassionate Audubon supporters like you helped make the MBTA the law of the land in 1918—a time when the commercial trade in birds and bird feathers threatened many species. Now it protects birds like the Brown Pelican from the hazards of industry, holding businesses responsible when their activities kill birds. But the administration won’t enforce the law for any so-called “incidental” deaths caused in the course of business. As you can imagine, many causes of bird fatalities—including oil spills—could fall into this “incidental” category. This lax interpretation is a gift to the fossil fuel industry, one that poses dire dangers to every bird the MBTA shields. [That’s why we’re taking them to court—and need you with us today, while your gift gets instantly doubled.]( As one of the founding forces behind this landmark bird law, Audubon will defend it. In fact, we’re birds’ best hope as the threats to their future mount: Wherever the administration works against conservation, you can be sure that Audubon will be there. Birds need you there, too. [Please help now. This special one-day match offer ends at midnight tonight. So don’t wait to make your very best gift before the deadline.]( Sincerely, The National Audubon Society [Donate Now]( Photo: Donna Tramontozzi/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.
