Golden-winged Warbler populations in sharp decline

You can help protect beloved birds [We need your help to protect birds]( The Golden-winged Warbler has lost 66% of its total population in 60 years, largely due to loss of its habitat, and it is on track to lose 50% of their remaining population if we don’t take urgent action. And they aren’t alone. Right now, we’re seeing population declines across almost every single habitat birds reside in. But there’s still time to turn things around for vulnerable birds.

[2X Match: Active]( [For many birds, habitat loss means population decline]( Millions of acres of habitat are lost or degraded every single year resulting in more and more species of birds pushed toward extinction. One bird feeling this loss acutely is the Golden-winged Warbler who has lost 98 percent of their population in Southern Appalachia since the 1960s. They lose 9 percent of their population in the Appalachian mountains every year, 10 times the loss seen in the Great Lakes. And it’s why we’re committed to protecting birds like the Golden-winged Warbler across their range to help reverse these dire trends. But we can’t do this important work without your help. [Thanks to a generous group of donors, your first annual gift will be matched up to $5,000 for birds like the Golden-winged Warbler. Will you pledge to support birds?]( [Your gift protects birds [GIVE NOW]]( Last year alongside our partners, we tagged a total of 14 Golden-winged Warblers with tiny trackers strapped to their backsides. These trackers allow us to learn more about their movements and any obstacles they come into contact with during their journey from Appalachia to Latin America and back again. With the data collected from these devices we will better understand what is needed to protect and restore the lands that birds like the Golden-winged Warbler need most. The birds we love need protection [Bird Icon.]( The Golden-winged Warbler has suffered one of the biggest population declines of any songbird. [Bird Icon.]( Breeding adults make up one of the smallest populations of any songbird outside the Endangered Species List. [Bird Icon.]( We are studying the movements of Golden-winged Warbler to better protect them. We’re doing everything we can for species like the Golden-winged Warbler, Snowy Owl, and all at-risk birds. Your continued support powers our work to protect them and the habitats they need year after year. [Please start your annual donation today and give birds the consistent support they need. There is no time to waste.]( Sincerely, National Audubon Society [Donate]( Photo: Charlie Trapani/Audubon Photography Awards. Illustrations: Golden-winged Warbler, Snowy Owl.
