In a 2019 report, Survival by Degrees: Bird Species on the Brink, Audubon’s scientists found that two-thirds of North American birds are at an increased risk of extinction from global temperature rise. The good news is that our science also shows that if we take action now, we can improve the chances for the majority of species at risk from climate change.
