Our songbirds are in real danger, and that danger is growing by the day.
.
It once seemed unthinkable there might come a time when we'd no longer hear the uplifting sound of bird song. Now, that is a very real possibility.
Over half of the 84 songbird species which breed in the UK are at risk, with their populations undergoing a long-term decline.
This includes species most of us think of as 'safe' - starlings and house sparrows - alongside species many of us have noticed the absence of because they were once so much a part of our daily lives but are now rarely seen or heard - such as greenfinches and mistle thrushes.
Time is running out for our songbirds. We need to raise £258,000 over three years to fund vital research and conservation efforts. Right now, we urgently need your help to raise £88,600 this year alone.
Act Now:
Our dawn chorus is far quieter than it used to be. This tells us not only that our songbirds are in danger, but that we are in danger – for the same reasons – from the impacts of biodiversity collapse.
Some species of songbird already only survive in such small numbers that there may not be anything that can save them from extinction. We must act quickly to make sure no more of the songbirds we cherish meet the same heart-breaking fate.
The actions we need to conserve and protect the most at-risk species of songbird will help to protect all songbirds, a wide variety of flora and fauna, and, in turn, our families and communities.
Your donation will help us pinpoint the urgent changes our songbirds need and move people to make the next chapter of their story one future generations will love to hear.
