Birds are telling us it’s time to take action on climate change

Audubon Climate Change Report

Over the last five years, Audubon has used the latest climate models and more than 140 million bird records—including data collected from bird lovers like you—to assemble Survival by Degrees: 389 Bird Species on the Brink, a new, ground-breaking report forecasting the survival of North American birds through the end of the century in extraordinary detail.

Our science shows that 65% of North American bird species are at risk of extinction from climate change. Even common birds like the American Robin, Northern Flicker, and even our Brown-headed Nuthatch and Wood Thrush will experience declining populations and radically different ranges in the near future.

But as the threat of climate change grows, so does T. Gilbert Audubon Society’s work. This report not only illustrates how our warming planet will affect the birds we all love but also shows us that if we act, there is still time to create a brighter future for birds and people. We already have many of the tools we need to reduce the effects of global warming. Read the report to learn what birds have been telling us for years: It is time to act.
