RSPB is an organization that plays a role in the conservation of birds and the natural world. They bring together bird and other wildlife lovers and those who would like to help enhance the state of the natural world.
It is a conservation organisation that is involved in the protection of many numbers of habitats and species and is a participant in the saving of species from extinction. They operate within the framework of the nature and climate crisis and do not stop their activities until threats disappear.
Their work is driven by science and evidence, rooted in five key areas: species, science, place, policy, people.
Wildlife species presence is the best way to gauge conservation. That is why the RSPB is concerned with the conservation of species from various aspects such as habitat destruction, decline in food resources, and invasion by other species. They operate to save the world’s species and to minimize the loss of many others. The RSPB is glad to work with such species as Bittern, Crane, Gannets, vultures, Saiga Antelope, etc.
The research done by the RSPB is among the best in the world, which allows them a wide vision of the global problems concerning nature and the planet, and to solve the problems. They establish conservation actions with the greatest potential and review and test these actions in an attempt to determine the efficiency. The State of Nature report is the biggest study which is carried out under the guidance of RSPB scientists and it provides the general information about the condition of nature in the UK, factors threatening the species and what needs to be done to protect them.
For this reason, the RSPB is also involved in the conservation and the rehabilitation of habitats in various terrains. They manage many nature reserves and negotiate with the owners, communities and other agencies to preserve these areas for the animals and the future generations.
RSPB also engages in policy formulation with a view of ascertaining that only policies and laws that have the interest of the wildlife and the environment at heart are passed. They aim at altering policies and government’s decisions that impact on the environment to be more suitable for conservation.
The RSPB has the faith in people and what they are capable of doing. These engage the local communities, volunteers and supporters in order to make them participate in the conservation processes. To do this they employ education, outreach and advocacy to ensure that people embrace the course.
Conservation is one of the issues that the RSPB organization is very passionate about. They will continue to work for the bird and other wildlife, their habitats’ preservation, the issues related to the nature and climate change.

Ways you can help nature this Summer
Here are some tips that can be followed by you this summer to help nature. First of all, maintain the garden in such a way that it becomes favorable for birds, insects, and other animals and plant those species which would provide them food. Participate in environmental conservation exercises such as planting trees or cleaning up the shores with an aim of improving the quality of ecosystems.
Reduce on the use of plastics and when using them, ensure that they are disposed off in the right manner. Support or give time to conservation oriented organisations including the RSPB. Last of all, improve your understanding and perception of other people, with regards to environmental conservation and engage in the conservation of the environment in your locality.
Activity How to install a water butt
Gardens can guzzle water. A hosepipe draws approximately 170 liters of water in every 10 minutes, which is way beyond the amount of water that a single person requires in a day for drinking, washing and flushing the toilet.
Most of the water that is used in the garden is running water which is the drinking water from the faucet; this water is sourced from the natural habitats of wildlife such as rivers and reservoirs. Conserving tap water saves the natural water sources and energy because water companies use energy to treat water.
The good news is that plants and the aquatic life in the pond love rain water. A simple way to be kind to the earth, animals, your flowers, and your wallet is to harvest and utilize rainwater. A standard water butt can contain more than 200 litres of water and will soon become full during the winter season.
Build a bee hotel
It can be done as part of Schools/Families Wild Challenge or Nature on your Doorstep and is the Helping Nature activity Homes for minibeasts (for Schools) and Build a bug hotel (for Families).
Solitary bees are not like honey bees which live in large colonies in a colony called a hive. As their name implies they build their nests alone and lay eggs in burrows for instance in a piece of dead wood or in hard ground. A bee hotel does so, offering large and easily accessible areas for laying eggs.
It is possible to construct your bee hotel anytime you wish, but it is preferred most especially during spring because that is the time when the bees that are interested in new homes are lining up. Observe adult female bees looking for the nest in warm weather in spring. There is a way to know that they are nesting, they fly in and out with pollen some on their belly, others with blobs of mud to build cell walls along the tube, and others with bits of leaf, they are the Leaf-cutter Bees.
Rockpool Exploration: Families Wild Challenge
The next time you are at the seaside and the tide is coming in, go to some rockpools and prepare for some discovery. If you have no kit with you the water in most rock pools is so transparent that one can see all sorts of things through the water surface. Or, you can use a cup to attempt to scoop creatures – They don’t suggest using a net because the creatures might get injured if they get caught in the holes of the net.
One could watch sea anemones dancing with their lovely brightly colored tentacles in the water or fast moving shrimps searching for food in the sand left over by the tide. If you observe small spiral shells crawling sluggishly on the bottom, they may be whelks or possibly a Hermit Crab. During the exploration you may find the ground is full of barnacles which are rather sharp to the touch or, for instance, get your hands on some seaweed which is slippery to the touch.
