[This Giving Tuesday, fight for birds with twice the power]( [Giving Tuesday 2019]( STATUS: Unconfirmed MATCH DEADLINE: Midnight [Donate]( 2X match extended! 245 donors needed now Since our email to you earlier today about our biggest-yet Giving Tuesday match, your fellow friends of Audubon have risen to the challenge with an incredible showing of generosity. [Will you join them? Please step up with your gift right away, as a brand-new match extension doubles the power of your support](. As the administration opens the coastal plain of the Arctic Refuge to oil and gas drilling, they’ve created a situation of high risk for nearly 150 species of birds that rely on this nearly pristine landscape. At stake are the Sandhill Crane’s summer nesting grounds, fragile tundra that stands to be overrun soon. If the administration has its way and drilling begins, it will damage this vital bird nursery beyond repair, to say nothing of the spills that are virtually certain to follow. This assault on one of our country’s last pristine places and its wildlife is cause for outrage—especially in light of the current bird emergency we face, when 1 in 4 North American birds have been lost in just 50 years. But anger is not enough. We must act. The donation you give today, which will be instantly doubled, will help Audubon protect the Arctic for birds like the Sandhill Crane, and secure a safer future for all the birds you love. [So please don’t forget: This Giving Tuesday match expires at midnight—so seize this opportunity to do your best for birds. Please make your generous gift right away, while it will have twice the power to protect.]( Sincerely, The National Audubon Society [Donate Now]( Photo: Sheldon Goldstein/Audubon Photography Awards [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( National Audubon Society 225 Varick Street, New York, NY 10014 USA [(844) 428-3826](#) [audubon.org]( © 2019 National Audubon Society, Inc.
