What is the RSPB mission statement?

Aims: The Mission Statement represents the long term purpose for the RSPB. The RSPB strives:

• For the conservation of wild birds and the wider environment on which they depend, in the conviction, not only that the beauty of birds and nature enrich the lives of many people, but also that nature conservation is fundamental to a healthy environment on which the survival of the human race depends.

• To maintain bird numbers, diversity and geographic distribution and to increase these where general conservation values are enhanced by doing so.

• For the conservation of natural and semi-natural habitats and for the re-creation of habitats as the most important means of conserving wild birds as well as other animals and plants.
