Giving nature a home

Hi there my name is Izzy Tyler and for my citizenship GCSE I have chosen to be an advocate for the RSPB. Before I start I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to open up my blog and read it, I very much appreciate your concerns and if you have any enquiries go to the RSPB website www.RSPB.co.uk or email me at 12ityler@tggsacademy.org and find out more .Now for those of you have not heard of the RSPB before it is a charity which supports birds and other wildlife to live a healthy life style and to be able to live on their own in the wild. Lots of you will have seen birds with small tags around their foot but this does no harm to the bird it is just used so that the RSPB can see how they are getting harmed or if they are being treated the way they should be. The RSPB is the country's largest nature conservation charity; it aims to inspire everyone to give nature a home. They protect threatened birds and wildlife so our towns, coast and countryside will live a happy life once again. They also play a leading role in a worldwide partnership of nature conservation organisations. I have chosen to work with this charity because I feel very strongly about how our wildlife is being treated and I am intrigued to know more about them and whether or not they are being successful and hopefully by the end of my blog you will feel the same way as I do.

The RSPB have come a long way since they started in 1889, from ancient woodlands and lowland heaths to the beauty of our coastlines, England is filled with wildlife habitats.  The RSPB have discovered mountains of land and helped new born animals to live in a safe, new and warming environment where no roads are near bye and so quiet that you can hear the river flowing for miles. This is the sort of environment that wildlife should be able to live in and stay there for a lifetime. But people like farmers or people from the cities aren’t as clear on keeping the environment a safe place for wildlife and people like this are destroying their habitats and the way they live for example building plantations poison the rivers in which the animals drink from and slowly killing them from the inside. No living creature should ever have to face this threat but our wildlife around us is and so the RSPB need as many people as they can get to raise money and to prevent things like this from happening to the wildlife that we live upon.

If you would like to make a response then please let me know where you are from e.g. home town and country (if you are not from the UK). Here are a few things that you can do to help support the RSPB organisation:

  • You can make a small donation to the “RSPB”,
  • You can sign up to the RSPB organisation and become a member where you will continue to get leaflets and magazines to tell you more about the charity,
  • You can simply help me to spread the word bye telling your friends and family about them.
  • You could even make leaflets of your own and try to raise awareness to the public who live closest to you.
Thank you for reading my blog and I hope that you now feel like donating to the RSPB and help to support your local RSPB organisation
Thanks again! Izzy
