HABITAT is HOPE

However, with your support for habitat conservation efforts, there is hope for birds across the Americas.

Thanks to your generosity, American Bird Conservancy (ABC) is delivering significant conservation results to ensure birds have the habitats they need to thrive across the Western Hemisphere. In 2022 alone, we worked with partners to successfully:

• Plant more than 400,000 trees and shrubs that will benefit some of the world’s most endangered bird species, including Peru’s Royal Cinclodes;

• Improve more than 250,000 acres of habitat for rapidly declining bird species across grasslands, riversides, and forests, including the Chestnutcollared Longspur and Southwestern Willow Flycatcher;

• Create new protected areas totaling more than 43,000 acres for rare species such as Ecuador’s El Oro Parakeet; and

• Make bird habitats safer, both in the air and on the ground — from helping to reduce window collisions and advocating for limits on the use of deadly pesticides, to removing free-roaming cats from bird habitats.

Now, thanks to a dedicated group of supporters, we have a special Habitat is Hope 1:1 Match with a goal of raising $500,000 for bird conservation by June 30. These supporters have already committed $250,000, and ABC is hoping to double that to $500,000 with your help. Your gift today will go far in helping us reach this ambitious goal.

With your help, we can do even more to save wild birds and their habitats, and reverse bird population trends from declining to thriving.

Illustrating how habitat represents hope, there are signs of recovery for the Wood Thrush. Where nesting habitat is optimal — including in areas where ABC and our Appalachian Mountains Joint Venture partners are working — numbers of this silvery-voiced singer are beginning to increase. Please help us expand our work to conserve bird habitat today!

Your gift will be used for crucial conservation projects, allowing ABC to conserve bird habitats and combat daily threats to birds in the most effective ways possible.

We urgently need your support to expand this work for birds across the Americas. Can you help us bring hope to the Eastern Meadowlark, Red-fronted Macaw, Marbled Murrelet, and many other birds?
