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.

This website sets out the factual information behind the decline in wading birds and explains what you can do to help our campaign. We will add to these pages regularly with the latest news and information, so keep your eyes peeled!
