[Every day should be Earth Day, so we’re giving you one more day to double your impact!]( [MATCH CHALLENGE EXTENSION]( Your First Annual Gift Matched, Up To $10,000 --------------------------------------------------------------- Match Challenge Extension Deadline: Midnight Tonight [Donate Now]( Earlier this week, we celebrated Earth Day—honoring and strengthening our resolve to preserve the precious planet we all share. But birds don’t consult the calendar. The unprecedented climate crisis that puts two-thirds of North American bird species at increasing risk of extinction is the danger they face 365 days a year. And the threats confronting familiar favorites like the Golden-winged Warbler and Rufous Hummingbird will only grow…unless you help today. Will you join us in making every day Earth Day? [To encourage caring bird lovers like you to flock together to help birds survive, we’ve extended our special Match Challenge until midnight tonight. Start your annual donation today while, thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift will be matched up to $10,000 to help birds weather this code-red climate crisis and protect the places they need. Your gift will renew automatically each year, giving birds dependable protection they can rely on.]( This Earth Day, 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. 3 billion birds have vanished in less than a human lifetime. As you read this, more than half of U.S. bird species are in decline. Of those, 70 species, including the Golden-winged Warbler and Rufous Hummingbird, are at a “Tipping Point”—birds that have lost 50% or more of their populations in the past 50 years and are on track to lose another half or more in the coming decades. The situation is dire. But because birds have been telling us for quite some time that we must take climate action—and because we have listened—we’re already protecting vulnerable birds across every landscape where we work. Thanks to the dedication of members like you, in the last year we’ve helped get the most comprehensive climate-focused bill signed into law, secured record-breaking funding allocated for Everglades restoration, and more. We’ve made incredible progress, but we must do more while there’s still time to build a safer future for birds. And for that, we need you. [We’re counting on you to join with an annual recurring gift during our Earth Day Match Challenge. Please start your annual donation while your first gift will be matched, up to $10,000. Hurry! This extension offer ends at midnight tonight.]( Sincerely, National Audubon Society [Donate]( Photo: Evan Barrientos/Audubon Rockies [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( [YouTube]( National Audubon Society 225 Varick Street, New York, NY 10014 USA [(844) 428-3826](#) [audubon.org]( © 2023 National Audubon Society, Inc.
