That’s the difficult truth about repairing the harm done to birds in the past four years. And whether it happens at all depends on our dedication. But this is what it means to protect birds and their habitats: staying persistent, staying resolved, and fighting for what they need—and never taking their safety or survival for granted. [Join us in this important work by starting a monthly gift, and get your first three contributions matched to double your impact.]( The Biden-Harris administration began its term with a flurry of action, setting rollbacks in motion that could, in time, repair some of the damage done—the weakened policies, the relaxed rules, and the devastating cuts to some of our most effective protections for birds. That’s an encouraging start, but it’s only that: a start. It’s going to take more than the stroke of a pen to bring safeguards for our lands, air, water, and climate back to strength. It will take time and significant effort to return the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to full force, to shore up the Endangered Species Act, or to establish meaningful and sustained climate action on a national scale. And with three billion birds already lost and the climate crisis building, there’s not a moment to waste. We’re on it. We’re already fully engaged in turning these encouraging first steps into durable progress for birds. Through advocacy, education, and hands-on action, all backed by rigorous science, we’re making sure these promises to birds become their better reality. [When you make a monthly gift]( you give us the strength and staying power it takes to keep these priorities alive. From the halls of Congress all the way to your hometown, Audubon serves as a powerful, principled champion for birds. With more than a century of conservation leadership to our credit, we’ve proven birds can count on us. But we count on you. [So please sustain this urgent work with your monthly gift, starting now, and get your first three donations doubled while this match offer lasts.]( Sincerely, The National Audubon Society [Donate Monthly]( Photo: William Wingfield Jr./Audubon Photography Awards [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( [YouTube]( National Audubon Society 225 Varick Street, New York, NY 10014 USA [(844) 428-3826](#) [audubon.org]( © 2021 National Audubon Society, Inc.
