Supporting the Wildlife Conservation Society of Tanzania (WCST)

9 October 2009

Tanzania has a higher number of globally threatened bird species (36) and more Endemic Bird Areas (6) than any other country in Africa. A strong indigenous bird conservation organisation will therefore have a vital role to play in the future survival of this avifauna.

Saving the special birds of Seychelles

9 October 2009

RSPB began work in Seychelles in 1996 and helped found Nature Seychelles two years later. Our work has focused on targeted action to prevent extinction of island endemics in particular Seychelles Magpie Robin. We have provided institutional support to Nature Seychelles and assisted their management of the world famous Cousin Island. They are now expanding their incredible success with birds to conservation of other taxa such as bats and amphibians.

Assisting wildlife conservation in Kenya

9 October 2009

RSPB has given institutional support to Nature Kenya (BirdLife in Kenya) helping to conserve Kenya's fabulous wildlife since 1994. We have provided a strong basis from which Nature Kenya has been able to attract additional project support. They are now recognised as one of the most effective and important NGOs in Kenya and their innovative projects have informed conservation elsewhere in Africa.
