2021 is nearly over, but the threats to birds aren’t ending anytime soon. Together, let’s protect them today and tomorrow

Be the friend birds need. Make your year-end gift today. [DEADLINE:]( [Midnight]( [2X MATCH UP TO:]( [$65,000]( [National Audubon Society]( [Northern Cardinal.]( Northern Cardinal. [New match! Gifts count double up to $65,000]( [2021 Year-End Campaign]( [DEADLINE:]( Midnight [2X MATCH UP TO:]( $65,000 [Donate]( We urgently need 501 donors now 2021 will soon come to an end, but birds don’t consult the calendar. They’ll face the same code-red threats—the same existential dangers—on January 1, 2022 that they’re contending with today. Those threats will only grow…unless you help today. A new match now doubles the impact of your generosity up to $65,000, but only until midnight tonight. [Please don’t wait: Make your most generous year-end gift today to protect birds and their habitats.]( As we prepare to turn the page on another year, birds are in a position more perilous than ever before. We’ve already lost 3 billion birds in the past half-century, and climate change threatens two-thirds of North American bird species with extinction. In such a situation, and to avoid a disastrous future, birds need protection now as they face present threats like heat waves and other extreme weather events, or the ongoing likelihood of oil spills due to our reliance on fossil fuels. We need to help them now. It’s up to us to prevent declines and stave off threats, before the unthinkable can happen. [And that’s where you come in.]( People like you who care about birds are their best hope for survival against the many threats facing birds. Audubon is counting on your generosity to power our best efforts on their behalf: The advocacy and legal action that give them strong policy protections. The expert, on-the-ground conservation that safeguards them in their habitats. And the rigorous science that informs all our work. Birds may not know a new year is about to start, but for us, a new year symbolizes new opportunities and fresh hope. [So help us start strong by making a year-end gift today, before midnight, while you’ll have double the impact.]( Let’s come together and make 2022 the year when we give birds a brighter, safer future.
