Fighting to save special species and places across the world
Greater Gola Landscape

Greater Gola, between Sierra Leone and Liberia, provides the habitat for a wide range of globally threatened species, such as Western chimpanzee, pygmy hippo, Diana monkey, white-necked Picarthartes, white-breasted guinea-fowl and Gola malimbe.
We advocate to protect this forest from roads, mines and dams.

Hutan Harapan

Hutan Harapan is one of the last remaining fragments of lowland rainforest in Sumatra, harbouring critically endangered species including Sumatran tiger, Sumatran elephant, Sunda pangolin, helmeted hornbill and Storm’s stork.
We are working with local communities to promote sustainable development while opposing oil and coal developments that would irreversibly damage the forest.

African sites casework

The RSPB works closely with BirdLife International partners across Africa to safeguard sites against harmful developments. Harnessing local to global support, we aim to protect special habitats.
Examples of ASCET’s interventions include:
- Protecting the Okavango delta from oil and gas development in the Kavango Basin
- Advocacy against Batoka Gorge hydro-electric dam which threatens Mosi-oa-Tunya/Victoria Falls World Heritage Site
- Work on renewable energy at a regional level

UK overseas territories

The RSPB works closely with partners across many of the UK overseas Territories. These include Birdlife Cyprus as well as local conservation organisations in the Caribbean and Atlantic territories. We work to protect habitats and species from harmful development as well as ensuring construction legislation protects nature through advocacy.
We also want to future proof developments in these areas from the threats of climate change.
