Nature is in trouble but we can reverse it. We've chosen ten species in the UK that are in sharp decline nationally. Our target is to increase their population by at least 10% on specially selected sites over the next 5 years. Andy Lester, our Conservation Director, launched this appeal to raise £20k to help us fund the work of A Rocha UK “We know that land can be managed effectively to increase the numbers and abundance of the species that live on it - many species respond positively to conservation work and will recover well if we act to save them now.”  Andy tells us.   

We are working with our growing community of Partners In Action and on our own reserves to identify which of the Target 10 species are present and how habitat can be managed effectively to increase populations of these species. We've already begun to pilot this work but with your donations we can expand to other sites, helping to increase the populations of more species.   Your donation will mean that we can:

Install house martin nest boxes - Donating £25 today could provide a house martin nest box on a UK site. Protect hedgehogs –  £45 could provide an approved hedgehog house at various UK sites.

Provide food for the honey bee  - £100 could help to prepare an area and sow a wildflower meadow.   

Help us to target species decline and care for God's earth.We are committed to caring for God's  earth and reversing the decline of nature in the UK. Your donations will be used to help us achieve this through our conservation projects and the work of our organisation.
