Fascinating Fact:

The RSPB was founded in 1889, linked to a campaign against the fashion for feathers and exotic plumes. Its early roots were driven by women organising for bird protection.

In Specialist Charities, the RSPB is known for helping wildlife by protecting habitats, running nature reserves, and supporting conservation projects. It also shares practical advice so people can help birds and other animals where they live.

Key Terms

Conservation: Protecting nature by caring for habitats and helping wildlife populations stay healthy.
Nature reserve: A protected area where wildlife and habitats are looked after, often with paths and rules to reduce disturbance.
Biodiversity: The variety of living things in an area, including different plants, animals, and insects.
