But the past four years have been difficult for this fierce yet graceful hunter—and for it and the 389 species at risk from climate change, the future may hold even greater dangers. Two-thirds of North American birds are at increasing risk of extinction from global temperature rise, and after a four year assault on the environment by the Trump administration, it will take all our collective efforts to steer away from this crisis. [We need your support to uphold these birds’ very survival in the face of accelerating climate change. Please make your year-end contribution right now, before midnight tonight, while a $10,000 match extension doubles the good you’ll do.]( The outgoing administration has added insult to injury when it comes to vulnerable birds like the Snowy Owl. Its Arctic habitat is rapidly warming, causing thawing permafrost and dwindling sea ice and disrupting the Snowy Owl’s main food source, lemmings. Not only has this administration done nothing to help—they’ve actively made matters worse by pushing for expanded oil and gas drilling, even in the already-fragile Arctic! This failure to act on climate change is just one facet of the outgoing administration’s assault on birds and the environment. But with the new year will come a new administration, and new hope for birds’ future. Birds are counting on you to be their strongest supporter and advocate as we work to rebuild what’s been broken. [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, restoring their protections with the same powerful combination of science, litigation, advocacy, and education that helped to inform many of these conservation policies in the first place—and that allowed us to fight and secure victories in the courts for a strong Migratory Bird Treaty Act this year. Best of all, you’ll create a safer future not only for birds, but also for people and the natural world we share. There’s a lot of work ahead, but with your help, together we’ll bring about that better future. [This special match extension runs out at midnight tonight, so for the sake of the Snowy Owl and all the other vulnerable birds, please don’t miss this chance to double your impact.]( Sincerely, The National Audubon Society [Donate Now]( Photo: Grant Eldridge/Audubon Photography Awards [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( [YouTube]( National Audubon Society 225 Varick Street, New York, NY 10014 USA [(844) 428-3826](#) [audubon.org]( © 2020 National Audubon Society, Inc.
