An icon of the frozen north, Snowy Owls are impressive to behold—large, powerful, and with white feathers perfectly evolved to blend in with their icy habitat. But while once synonymous with the Arctic tundra, these striking raptors have seen steep population declines. And since 2018, they have been listed as a vulnerable species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, a global resource that reports on extinction risks.

If ever there was a time when birds needed the support of passionate people like you—it’s right now. And there’s no better opportunity to help bring birds back than today, when your first annual gift could make 2X the impact. We’re counting on 100 committed bird lovers to start an annual gift before midnight to keep us on track toward our year-end goal and power our best efforts on behalf of birds like the Snowy Owl. Will you be one of them?
