Save the Wader campaigns to protect a vulnerable species of bird whose numbers are in sharp decline.
Wading birds are part of our national heritage; quietly iconic, the call of a curlew is spine tingling – but this is an increasingly rare sound as waders of all types are in danger of disappearing throughout much of the country.
We believe that it is about time something was done to stop this happening; reversing the decline of once common and widespread species must remain a key challenge in bird conservation.
