The RSPB speaks out for birds and wildlife, tackling the problems that threaten our environment. Our work is driven by a passionate belief that we all have a responsibility to protect birds and the environment. We also protect, restore and manage habitats for birds and other wildlife across our 200 reserves in the UK and through international projects.

In the UK, the RSPB is working to protect many of our most-loved birds that are under threat such as the Cuckoo, Lapwing and Bittern through habitat restoration and management. Other projects involve the reintroduction of species, such as the Great Crane project in Somerset that aims to reintroduce the crane, which once wandered these shores in abundance, to large areas of Great Britain.
 
Our current campaign “The letter to the future” aims to bring the environment on to the government’s agenda to ensure that future generations can enjoy wildlife and nature as we do today.

While abroad, the RSPB is working in partnership with other charities in Sumatra to save the Harapan rainforest and protect the habitat of the animals that live there including the Sumatran Tiger, Storm’s Stork and 9 species of Hornbill.

We are also working to save the albatross across the world’s southern oceans as 17 of 22 species of albatross are critically endangered.

And in India, after a 99% decline in their numbers, we are working to breed the majestic white-backed vulture in captivity to ensure its survival.

In order to ensure that these projects are successful we need your support. The RSPB strives to spend as much of its income on conservation as possible; we spend over 91 pence of every £1 donated on our conservation projects. This allows us to use your support where it is really needed. Your money will help us to restore habitats, bring back wonderful species, protect wildlife across the world and build a better future for our children.
