[Giving Tuesday Challenge] Birds can’t ask for your help. So we’re asking for them.

Help unlock $200,000 more for beloved birds. [65 Donors Needed]( [National Audubon Society]( [Rufous Hummingbird.]( Rufous Hummingbird. [Giving Challenge Active Now.]( [Make an even greater impact for birds ahead of Giving Tuesday]( This is a code-red crisis: The 2022 State of the Birds Report revealed that more than half of U.S. bird species are in decline. And of those, 70 species, including the beloved 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. Birds can’t ask for your help. So we’re asking for them. [Will you make your monthly gift ahead of Giving Tuesday while, thanks to a group of generous donors, it will help unlock $200,000 more? We’ve got a big goal of 1,000 new monthly donors by Giving Tuesday and we need 65 caring friends to join us today to keep pace. Start your donation before this amazing chance to amplify your impact ends!]( [Bird declines have reached a tipping point.]( Because birds have been telling us for quite some time that we must take action—and because we’ve listened—we’re already protecting vulnerable birds in every landscape where we work. With more than a century of expertise and caring bird lovers like you behind our efforts, we’re giving species a better chance at survival: Right now, we’re working to advance the Migratory Birds of the Americas Conservation Enhancements Act, which would enhance a key grant program by ramping up its authorized funding, making it more accessible to partners, and providing greater staff capacity to help habitats across the Western Hemisphere. Birds are at a tipping point. [Bird Icon.]( More than half of U.S. birds are in decline. [Bird Icon.]( 70 species have lost 50% or more of their populations in 50 years.

But we must do more while there’s still time to build a brighter future for birds—and for that, we need you. [We’re counting on 65 more friends to start a monthly gift right now. Please help unlock $200,000 as we work towards creating a brighter future for the birds we love.]( Sincerely, National Audubon Society [Donate]( Photo: Breanna Wilson/Audubon Photography Awards.
