[Please start your annual gift today while your first will be matched 2X up to $5,000.]( Audubon’s 2021 Priority Birds Report found a 26% decline among the birds in our communities in the last 50 years alone, with familiar favorites like the Rose-breasted Grosbeak and the Baltimore Oriole suffering losses in the millions. But the disappearance of our beloved backyard birds is just one facet of a larger bird emergency. We’ve lost 3 billion birds in less than a single human lifetime. And as you read this, climate change poses an existential threat to two in three North American bird species. That doesn’t need to be the end of the story though, because Audubon has solutions—and when we join together, we can give birds a brighter future. For more than a century, our proven combination of rigorous science, committed advocacy, and expert on-the-ground conservation has helped bring birds back from the brink. Audubon is committed to protecting birds in our communities, but we’re relying on the steady support from bird lovers like you to make it all possible.
