Why is the RSPB involved in agriculture?
Over 70% of the UK landscape is farmed and much of our birdlife, like lapwings and skylarks, have specialised to live on it. Unfortunately, many of these birds are currently declining and of major conservation concern. The RSPB is working with the farming community in order to safeguard bird populations for future generations. By combining our knowledge and skills we hope to secure the future of these countryside birds within a competitive farming system.
