We need 40 bird lovers to join us before midnight

We need to act now to protect the birds we love. [40 Donors Needed]( [National Audubon Society]( [Scarlet Tanager.]( Scarlet Tanager. [Giving Challenge Active Now.]( [Don’t let our birds disappear. Help unlock $200,000 to help them.]( This should be a wake-up call for all of us: July of this year was the hottest month ever recorded—and breached the 1.5 degree warming scenario we’ve sounded the alarm on as a tipping-point for birds. As our climate changes, so will the places birds need to survive. For birds like the Scarlet Tanager, Piping Plover, Rufous Hummingbird, and Allen’s Hummingbird that means they’ll need to relocate to find more favorable habitats—and unfortunately the odds may not be in their favor. If we’re to protect the birds we love and the places they need to exist, we need to act now. [Will you be one of the 40 dedicated friends we’re counting on to start a monthly gift before midnight? Thanks to a generous group of donors, your gift will help unlock an additional $200,000 if we can reach 1,000 new monthly gifts by Giving Tuesday.]( [It's a code red for birds.]( We’re working tirelessly to combat climate change—and one way we’re doing that on behalf of birds is by championing clean energy. We support an expansion of our clean energy grid and upgrades that help protect birds and people alike. By working responsibly and urgently on clean energy initiatives, we would slow the rising global temperatures that could one day threaten two-thirds of North American bird species with extinction. 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. [So please, will you join us by making a gift that gives all birds the unwavering protection they need? Because what’s best for birds is also best for all of us.]( We’re counting on 1,000 bird lovers—just like you!—to make a monthly donation to help unlock an additional $200,000 during our Giving Tuesday Challenge! Please don’t delay—our birds need you now. Sincerely, National Audubon Society [Donate]( Photo: Lia Bocchiaro/Audubon.
