Royal Society for the Protection of Birds

The RSPB is a registered charity whose principal objectives are the conservation of wild birds and their habitats and the promotion of public interest therein. All the RSPB's conservation work is targeted on the most endangered species, habitats and sites and is guided by strong scientific research.

As well as managing a number of reserves, the RSPB takes an active interest in farming, forestry and other land uses and employs specialists such as land economists to guide its policies on these. It is increasingly involved in energy, transport and water use issue and is the foremost body assisting the police with the enforcement of wildlife legislation. It is also actively involved in both formal and informal education and active membership involvement is encouraged through Local Members' Groups, such as that in Borders.
