More birds, more work on reserves, more big wins for wildlife
We’re making incredible breakthroughs for wildlife, but birds and nature still need your help.
On this page
We’re hugely thankful for your loyal RSPB membership – thanks to you, birds that faced extinction in the UK are now recovering. Once threatened landscapes are now coming back to life. And we’re making big breakthroughs to help protect seabirds like Puffins. But with over 70 species still on our ‘Red List’ of birds facing UK extinction in the UK and so much other wildlife threatened, we need to do more.
Please, will you give nature more?
Despite all our progress, nature still faces huge challenges. Every extra pound you can add to your membership today will help save more birds facing extinction, restore biodiversity and challenge governments to protect more of our threatened land and seas for wildlife. We can’t do it without your support, so please increase your membership today.
You can give our most threatened birds a future
The quirky, yellow eyed Stone-curlew is making a wonderful comeback, with numbers more than doubling nationally. In 1985, only about 150 pairs remained, reflecting the loss of many of the chalk downlands they rely on. But 40 years of our work with farmers and landowners to protect nesting plots has given hope for their future. Your extra support now can help us push for more nature-friendly farming, helping not just one species but many - including Skylarks, Yellowhammers and Lapwings.
You can help bring rare habitats like chalklands back to life
Wldflowers will soon bloom across Roundbarrow Farm in Wiltshire, as we have recently received approval to restore this intensive dairy farm back to its original, nature rich chalk grassland. It can once again be alive with the soaring songs of Skylarks and Yellowhammers, bursting with the vibrant hum of rare bees, moths, and butterflies. Your membership can support amazing transformations like this, not just for chalklands but by bringing heathlands, wetlands and uplands back to life.
You can give our seabirds a chance to survive
Since 2000, the UK has lost one in four of our lovable Puffins, and they move ever closer to the threat of global extinction. Depending almost entirely on sandeels to survive, their vital food has long been over-trawled. Now, after decades of campaigning, sandeel fishing has been banned in UK waters giving this charismatic seabird the chance of a future. But other threats remain, including avian flu and offshore development. Increasing your membership today could help tackle these significant challenges faced by our seabirds too.
