Event: Curlew Conversations: Conservation

Curlews are among the UK’s most recognisable and well-loved birds, but sadly their numbers are falling fast. The main problem is that too few chicks are making it to adulthood – but the reasons behind that are complex. As ground-nesting birds, Curlews are especially vulnerable to the changing pressures shaping our countryside today, including intensive farming, predation, habitat loss and climate change.

In this follow-up to our Curlew Conservation: An Overview webinar, we'll hear from both a local and a national curlew conservation project. the presentations will be followed by a live Q&A chaired by Curlew Action.

• Protecting Curlews in Nidderdale with Alex Large (Hartwith Curlew Project)
• Curlew Conservation in Northern Ireland with Anne-Marie McDevitt (RSPB Northern Ireland)

This free webinar is aimed at anyone with an interest in Curlews or conservation in general and will provide a clear, balanced overview of the challenges and practical solutions involved in Curlew conservation. We welcome students, naturalists, ornithologists, conservation professionals, ecologists, land managers, farmers and anyone else who is keen to understand the threats facing our Curlews.
