We urgently need your help
)
We have a proven track record of
helping birds of prey all over the UK. One success story is the red kite, which
now soars above many parts of the UK where once it was extinct.
Whilst this is a brilliant
achievement, birds of prey are still in trouble and we urgently need your help
again. Illegal persecution has left the hen harrier on the verge of extinction
as a breeding bird in England, and we can only save them with your help.
Alarming news
Shockingly, there was just one
breeding pair of hen harriers in England this year – despite there being
suitable habitat for over 300 pairs.
Scandalously, its numbers have
been slashed by deliberate human persecution. And it isn’t just hen harriers, my
team of investigators have uncovered evidence of other birds of prey being
illegally shot, poisoned and trapped this year.
How you can help
To stop the killing, we must
raise £600,000 by 20 December, so that we can put our plans into action. That’s
just two and half weeks away! Any donation you give is gratefully received.
The money is urgently needed to
fund our investigations into wildlife crime, safeguarding hen harriers from
persecution and supporting our efforts to ensure that birds of prey are
adequately protected.
We all have a part to play in
saving the hen harrier and other vulnerable birds of prey and we need government
and its agencies, the police, landowners and managers and other conservation
organisations to do their bit too.
Having brought the red kite back
from the brink, I believe it will be a tragedy if we do not act now, by tackling
illegal killing, and help save the hen harrier, so future generations can enjoy
this remarkable bird.
Please give £20 today and play
your part in saving the hen harrier. If you have already donated to this appeal
thank you.
Thanks,
