Organisation aims / mission / values

  • Thanks to your support, we own 55 per cent of the land we manage and 45 per cent is managed in partnership with others. We aim to dramatically increase the land we own and manage over the next 15 years - our ambition is to double our land-holding by 2030.
  • By 2025 we will have helped to improve the wildlife value of at least 10 per cent of the seas around the UK and its overseas territories.
  • By 2025 we want to ensure at least 20 per cent of UK land is well managed for nature, by ensuring no loss of protected areas and by offering inspiration and advice to improve the management of around 5,000 square kilometres owned by others.
  • We'll give urgent and intensive help to birds such as the curlew, turtle dove, hawfinch, willow tit and puffin which are suffering from a worryingly dramatic downturn in numbers. Continue our conservation investment in 41 other birds, to help prevent them slipping back down in numbers. Continue the development and progress of already successful reintroduction projects, such as the bittern, cirl bunting and corncrake. We're proud of our role in the State of Nature report, and together with the other 49 organisations involved, we will be a powerful partnership to react to the threats it identified. We are the UK partner of BirdLife international and together we will tackle the threats to our shared nature overseas.
  • Together with BirdLife International and others partners, we will continue our work on the Birds Without Borders programme, helping to conserve migrant birds on their journey between Europe and Africa. The Albatross Task Force will continue it's successful work to protect albatrosses, killed in their tens of thousands every year by longline fishing. We will tackle the threats to resting seabirds by invasive species on islands in the Atlantic and Pacific. We will focus our work on the UK oversea territories, recognising the UKs unique responsibility for the wildlife they support.
  • We will continue to inspire young people all over the UK, and create new opportunities for them to discover and connect with nature. We will continue to deliver ‘connections to nature’ experiences for children via partnerships, schools outreach and reserves activity. With fun accessible schemes such as Give Nature a Home and the Big Garden Birdwatch, we will continue to transform gardens across the country into mini nature reserves. Building a movement and weaving the UKs landscape into a tapestry of connected wild spaces. We will continue to find new and creative opportunities to volunteer, campaign and support the RSPB and strive to grow in numbers and spirit, to meet the growing threats to nature.
