2024 Year-end Appeal
Birds are vanishing from our skies — nearly 3 billion across North America since 1970. Here in Michigan, this loss is profound. The haunting calls of Common Loons and the sight of soaring Peregrine Falcons are becoming rare treasures as threats like habitat loss and climate change accelerate. Michigan Audubon is committed to reversing this decline by restoring vital habitats, monitoring vulnerable species, and building a community that passionately protects our birds.
Your support makes this work possible. Every dollar helps secure safe nesting areas, restore natural habitats, and improve the health of our landscapes for future generations. Together, we can ensure that Michigan remains a place where birds thrive and inspire. Please join us in this urgent mission to protect Michigan’s birds and their habitats — for today and for the future.
Make your year-end gift today and be a champion for Michigan’s birds.

Make an impact beyond your lifetime for Michigan birds and their habitats
Spanning from the shores of the Great Lakes to our state’s inland waters, wetlands, and forests, Michigan’s natural spaces and wildlife are wide-ranging and require our constant environmental stewardship.
