[Giving Challenge Active Now.]( [We need 120 new monthly donors before midnight.]( Since 1970, North America has lost over 3 billion birds—and right now, two-thirds of those that remain are at increasing risk of extinction from climate change. Birds like the Scarlet Tanager are struggling, and depend on intact forests for nesting and breeding. These vital habitats are dwindling, in part due to the ongoing climate crisis, causing their future to become uncertain. But it’s not too late to intervene on their behalf. [By Giving Tuesday we’re challenging 1,000 caring bird lovers to help unlock an additional $200,000 for vulnerable birds. Can we count on you to be one of the 120 new monthly donors we need before midnight to keep pace?]( [It's a code red for birds.]( Audubon works with local, state, and federal decision makers to achieve common sense solutions to mitigate the climate crisis: from championing renewable energy to advocating for reduced carbon emissions to maintaining healthy forests and supporting sustainable agricultural practices. One piece of legislation Audubon is advocating for—the BIG Wires Act—was recently introduced in Congress and aims to mitigate the impacts of climate change and help preserve wildlife habitats. This legislation could make a world of difference for birds like the Scarlet Tanager, Piping Plover, Rufous Hummingbird, Allen’s Hummingbird, and all birds on the brink. We’re in a code-red emergency for birds. [Bird Icon.]( 3 billion birds have been lost in the past 50 years. [Bird Icon.]( Nearly 400 birds are at increasing risk of extinction due to climate change. [Bird Icon.]( The Scarlet Tanager could lose 68% of its range in a 3 degree warming scenario. We know that when we care for the places birds need the most, we also protect our planet from the most dire and deadly impacts of climate change.
