Common Loon.This World Water Day, help turn the tide for the birds you love.

Peter Anthony, it’s World Water Day—and if there was ever a time when birds needed this community to come together to protect this vital resource, it’s now.

The Common Loon, like two-thirds of North American bird species, is at increasing risk of extinction from the climate crisis. As they face threats from flooding, climate stressors, lead poisoning, parasites, and mercury exposure, we must all flock together for their protection before it’s too late.

The research is clear: To protect birds, we must protect water. That’s why our approach addresses both the cause and impact of the crises facing birds. Using our proven combination of committed advocacy, empowering education, and expert on-the-ground conservation, we have achieved water protection wins for birds and their habitats, including passing legislation to increase funding for water projects that impact birds and communities. Together with caring bird lovers like you, we’re supporting sustainable resource management, preserving essential habitats, and advancing climate action.

We’ve made incredible progress for birds in need across the country—and we can achieve even more if you’ll join us with your sustaining gift today. We’re counting on a few more friends to start an annual donation during our special World Water Day match. Please act now while your first gift could be matched, up to $5,000, to help create a brighter future for the birds we love.
