NYC Plover Project

So, if you have not yet given, please do so today, before December 31st. This little plover chick, and each of us, will be most grateful.

As we have mentioned, there are threats to the Endangered Species Act itself. Your gift helps power all of this work to defend endangered species and the very laws their survival relies upon.

Together, we are building a culture of conservation, to protect the most vulnerable New Yorkers amongst us.

But the threats to Piping Plovers and other threatened and endangered species have never been more serious.

Because of your generosity, we met and exceeded our #GivingTuesday match and goal. Nearly 100 new donors gave to help support our work connecting w/ NYC public school children, diverse communities of our city, & scores of beach-going New Yorkers about the awesome shorebirds that call our city home.

For when we look out for, and protect, the most vulnerable, even if they have feathers, we are a better society overall.

So that’s my final plea to give this #GivingTuesday.

With the most heartfelt thanks.

You may not meet them, or come to know the plovers as we have, but we invite you to bring this fierce little endangered species into your heart. We have more in common than you may think.

Today and everyday, we share stories and images of the plovers that call New York City home.

Please help us send a message to the world that this young Piping Plover — one of a population of no more than 8,000 globally — will never be alone.

- Embark on habitat restoration efforts to help our beaches thrive for all

Can we count on you to join us in being a #GivingTuesday donor today?

Your gift will help us:

- Expand our programs in NYC Public Schools
- Host community events engaging New Yorkers on biodiversity and species protection
- Grow our volunteer program on the busy beaches of our country’s most populous city

But we — and they — really need your help.

Now more than ever, Piping Plovers need your help. NYC Plover Project is the one organization working tirelessly to protect these fragile species. We are their best hope.

Since 2021, we have been on the beaches of New York City helping to protect Piping Plovers and other fragile beach-nesting birds and their habitats. We have not left and we won’t.

Every gift that you make today will be DOUBLED. Thanks to a few very special supporters, every dollar up to $12,500 will be matched. So, please make a tax-deductible gift before midnight to help protect NYC’s endangered species.

Above all, we are deeply grateful for the Piping Plovers who remind us everyday that we are part of something greater. We take protecting the most vulnerable little New Yorkers very seriously. It helps so many species, including us humans, and makes our city better for all!

We will continue to do more and do better to defend and protect the endangered species that calls our city home. We are thankful to have you all on this journey with us.

Thank you to our supporters, the many New Yorkers who give Piping Plovers & other fragile beach-nesting birds the space to survive, our amazing volunteers and staff, our agency & community partners, donors & our social media followers.

One week of headlines. And these are just a few of them! The most important & effective global endangered species law - and multiple landmark environmental laws in the U.S. - are under attack.
