[Now extended! Your donation doubled today]( [2019 Year-End Campaign]( STATUS: Unconfirmed MATCH DEADLINE: Midnight [Donate]( Needed now: 207 donors With its powdery white feathers and haunting yellow eyes, the Snowy Owl is a wonder to behold. As a timeless icon of the Arctic, it has filled generations of bird-lovers with awe. Our enchantment with the Snowy Owl runs deep—and so should our concern for its future. [It’s up to us to uphold to its safety, even its very survival. Please make your year-end contribution right now, while a $25,000 match extension doubles the good you’ll do.]( This raptor is in serious trouble as climate change warms its Arctic habitat. Along with thawing permafrost and dwindling sea ice, a melting Arctic also threatens the Snowy Owl’s main food source, lemmings, which aren’t resilient enough to move north in search of colder temperatures. With less to eat, females lay fewer eggs. Fewer chicks hatch. And fewer Snowy Owls survive to grace the Arctic skies. The solitary Snowy Owl isn’t alone in this crisis: fully two-thirds of all North American bird species are at risk from climate change, and our leaders’ failure to act is only deepening this crisis. And their imminent scheme to expand Arctic drilling is multiplying the dangers. Birds are counting on you to be their strongest defense. [Will you make your year-end gift right now, when it will be instantly doubled?]( You’ll make possible our most essential work on birds’ behalf: the science, advocacy, and education that will create a safer future not only for birds, but also for people and the natural world we share. [This special match extension runs out at midnight tonight. For the sake of the Snowy Owl, please don’t miss this chance to act.]( 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]( © 2019 National Audubon Society, Inc.
