United front forms to fight for our curlew
Shooting Times & Country
|March 10, 2021
HRH the Prince of Wales applauds a new partnership, which includes the RSPB and GWCT, that aims to conserve Britain’s ‘wonderful bird’
Author and campaigner Mary Colwell is to lead a new collaboration to try to save the rapidly vanishing Eurasian curlew. The England Curlew Recovery Partnership — which includes the GWCT, the British Trust for Ornithology, the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust and the RSPB — aims to turn round the decline in the population, which has halved in only 25 years. Habitat changes and ever-increasing predator numbers have pushed the bird to the brink; it’s now almost absent as a breeding species in much of the UK.
