Won’t you be the friend birds need today?]( Birds can’t escape the impacts of extreme weather The Piping Plover is an endangered or threatened species in all parts of their range. 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. The situation is dire, but together, we’ve shown that where there’s action, there’s hope—bringing many beloved species back from the brink using our proven combination of rigorous research, committed advocacy, empowering education, and hands-on conservation. Just last summer, we celebrated a record-breaking breeding season for Great Lakes Piping Plovers, creating a blueprint for protecting vulnerable birds across a wide range of habitats. This is the kind of large-scale progress that’s made possible with your support. [So please, start your annual donation right away and get your first gift matched, up to $5,000, for birds and the places they need.
