[Protect the birds that color our skies]( If you look out your window right now, it may seem like birds are doing just fine. After all, many backyard favorites like the American Robin visit our yards and feeders, gracing us with their sweet songs from dawn to dusk. Science tells a different story: There’s been a 26% decline among the birds in our communities since 1970—and if we don’t act now, more could be silenced in the face of climate change. [Please join us in protecting birds and their habitats today: Make your best gift right away and it'll be matched dollar for dollar, up to $5,000, for birds and the places they need.]( [$500]( [$250]( [$100]( [$75]( [$50]( [Other]( The decline of certain backyard birds is just one aspect of a larger biodiversity crisis: Three billion birds have vanished in the last 50 years. And when we look to the future, a devastating two thirds of all bird species in North America are at increasing risk of extinction from climate change. This is a code-red emergency. But there is hope when we act: For more than a century, Audubon’s rigorous science has identified which birds are threatened, which habitats are most in need of protection, and which birds will most benefit from our efforts—findings that drive our comprehensive program of bird conservation. In order to continue this important work—to help the birds in our communities overcome today’s dangers and survive the coming challenges—we need friends like you by our side. [So please, join your fellow bird lovers by stepping up with your most generous donation today while every gift will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $5,000. Help secure a brighter future for the birds we love.]( Sincerely, The National Audubon Society [Donate]( Photo: David Mollenhauer/Audubon Photography Awards [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( [YouTube]( National Audubon Society 225 Varick Street, New York, NY 10014 USA [(844) 428-3826](#) [audubon.org]( © 2022 National Audubon Society, Inc.
