[Be one of the bird lovers we’re depending on to make an annual donation before midnight tonight and your first gift will be matched, up to $5,000, to go twice as far for the birds you love.]( Birds are at a tipping point More than half of U.S. bird species are in decline. 389 North American bird species are at increasing risk of climate extinction. We’ve lost 3 billion birds in the span of a human lifetime. With more than a century of knowledge and expertise behind our efforts, Audubon supports policies that provide solutions to these problems. And after 40 years of concerted wetland conservation efforts alongside local chapters, communities, and other NGOs, we’re proud to say that waterbird populations remain healthy. From the Everglades to the Central Valley of California, Audubon’s efforts and partnerships have made a positive impact. Now, we’re advocating to reduce hazards and threats facing birds, and expanding planning and coordination for bird conservation to replicate these successes with other species. But our best efforts depend on you. [So please, make your annual donation before midnight tonight and your first gift will be matched, up to $5,000, for birds like the Rufous Hummingbird.]( Sincerely, National Audubon Society [Donate]( Photo: Vince Streano/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.
