Raging fires. Habitat destroyed. Birds can’t take much more.

[Time is running out. But we can still give birds a safer future.]( [URGENT: BIRDS IN CRISIS]( MATCH STATUS: Unconfirmed DEADLINE: Midnight 8/31 [Donate]( Multiply your impact up to $10,000 The western US is burning, and for baby birds too young to leave the nest, there’s no escaping these fires. The news from the 13 states and 2 Canadian provinces currently plagued by wildfires is heartbreaking. And this is only one of the ways climate change will threaten birds in the years to come—unless we act urgently today. [Please make your best gift today to protect birds from the accelerating climate crisis.]( This opportunity to get your gift matched dollar for dollar (up to $10,000) ends at midnight tomorrow, because this crisis can’t wait—so please don’t delay. The new climate report released by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) this month makes irrefutable what we’ve long known: Climate change is a fast-moving disaster for birds and people alike. Too many birds are already struggling to survive widespread fires and heat waves—and that’s only this summer. In the future, a full two-thirds of North American bird species could face climate extinction. If we do nothing, we can expect to see worse droughts, leading to more uncontrolled wildfires. More devastating heat waves and severe storms. Rising sea levels. Accelerating habitat loss. And much more. Some climate impacts are already irreversible, but the worst can still be averted, giving hope to many of the birds we love. If we act now, we can still give birds a safer future. [Your support will power Audubon’s boldest efforts to fight the climate crisis.]( Guided by science, we’re pushing for reduced emissions, greener energy, and more resilient landscapes. With more than a century of conservation expertise behind our efforts, we know what it takes to protect birds and their habitats. And with your support, we can. You are what hope looks like to a bird, and we can’t do this without you. [Give as generously as you can now, before midnight tomorrow, while your gift will be doubled.]( Don’t miss this chance to multiply your impact and protect birds while they need it most.
