[2X Match Active Now; Stopwatch graphic]( [Nearly 400 Birds on the Brink: Protect Them Now]( Decades of a warming climate, habitat loss, and human impact have caused worrying declines for at-risk birds. In fact, 389 North American bird species are at increasing risk of extinction from climate change. The Piping Plover is just one of these nearly 400 birds on the brink. Under the most extreme warming scenario, Piping Plovers are at risk of losing 87 percent of their range. It’s nothing short of a crisis.

Our comprehensive program of research, advocacy, education, and hands-on conservation is a powerful force in preventing future extinctions and helping declining populations recover. But the Piping Plover—and the other 388 birds on the brink—are up against unprecedented challenges, and it’s going to take all of us working together to safeguard their futures.
