Our thanks, on behalf of birds

 

Birds are Better Because of You

As we look forward to a new year of fighting for birds, we are also looking back with pride on last year’s achievements with gratitude towards you for your dedication to protecting birds and the places they need. As a committed bird-lover your support drives our work forward. In July of last year, the reversal of a Trump-era rule that weakened the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) was a much-needed win for birds and one that we continue to celebrate with you. The CBRA protects U.S. wetlands, beaches, and barrier islands, from the Great Lakes to the Virgin Islands. It prohibits nearly all federal expenditures in coastal areas, preventing sand mining that can disrupt the safety, nesting, and fledging of birds that dwell in the 3.5 million acres of these lands—birds like the Piping Plover that are already endangered in the Great Lakes area and threatened in the Atlantic Coast and Northern Great Plains. Audubon joined by several partners filed suit against the Trump Administration in 2020 and in response to the lawsuit, the Biden Administration revoked the rule, solidifying this victory for birds and their coastal habitats. This achievement was only made possible through the unwavering support of dedicated friends like you. Your generous giving powers Audubon’s work on behalf of the birds that need it most and enables the powerful advocacy efforts that helped restore critical protection for coastal birds.   Thank you once again for being what hope looks like to a bird. We invite you to read more about the importance of the CBRA, and about Audubon’s work to fight for these delicate, at-risk coastal areas and the birds that rely on them. Sincerely, The National Audubon Society
