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.

Your donation will help us to:

  • Complete our ground-breaking research examining how pesticides in veterinary drugs are harming nesting songbirds – already creating significant impact with alarming first-year findings
  • Continue research into the impact on songbirds of disturbance in woodland and shrubland from people's leisure and recreation activities
  • Begin new research projects our scientific advisory board is currently reviewing and hoping to take forward as quickly as possible

why birds matter

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.
