What we do

The RSPB speaks out for birds and wildlife, tackling the problems that threaten our environment. With the support of our members, we:

  • campaign on behalf of birds and the environment
  • own and manage nature reserves where wildlife can flourish and people can get closer to nature
  • research the problems facing birds and the environment.
  • carry out recovery projects for many threatened species.
  • help everybody enjoy the natural world and learn more about it

Where your money goes
