Has it it really been 100 years …..
“ A century ago, visionary conservationists concerned about the plight of the world’s birds and the wider environment came together to form an international movement. “
At midday on 20 June 1922, a group gathered at the London home of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Robert Horne – then MP for Glasgow. United by their passion for birds, the group decided that co-ordinated international action was the answer to the various threats birds faced and founded The International Council for Bird Preservation (ICBP) – now BirdLife International.
Groups that partner with Birdlife International include – Forest & Bird in New Zealand, Birdlife Australia, and RSPB in the UK.
