[Match Active]( [2X match active: The birds you love need your help]( What better time to show your love to birds than now, when Valentine’s Day is still fresh in our minds? Just as you let those close to you know how much you cared, our beloved birds need you, too. The extinction crisis facing birds is not just a future problem. It’s a current one, and we must act now. As you read this, two out of every three North American bird species—including the Scarlet Tanager—face an increasing risk of extinction due to climate change. At a time when we’ve already lost 3 billion birds in the last 50 years, we can’t let any more disappear. We’re not willing to let the birds we love go extinct. [Please join us in protecting birds like the Scarlet Tanager: Start your dependable annual contribution right away and your first gift will be matched, up to $25,000.]( [Your Gift Protects Birds; Scarlet Tanager, Piping Plover, Rufous Hummingbird illustraion]( The good news is that with your support, we can reverse this alarming trend for birds and mitigate the effects of climate change on people and the planet by focusing on nature-based climate solutions. When we conserve bird habitat, we do more than protect biodiversity—we invest in the critical carbon-reducing benefits these ecosystems provide to combat climate change. The birds we love need protection [Scarlet Tanager Icon.]( There are nearly 400 North American bird species at increasing risk of extinction due to climate change. [Scarlet Tanager Icon.]( That list includes beloved species like the Scarlet Tanager. [Scarlet Tanager Icon.]( Scarlet Tanagers could find two-thirds of their current breeding range unsuitable if climate change continues unchecked. But our best efforts depend on you.
