This weekend the Twootz team will be at the annual BIRD FAIR in Rutland Water Nature Reserve! It runs from Friday 15th - Sunday 17th August 2014 and we would love to see all our new and old customers there!

The Bird fair in 2013 raised £270,000. This year the bird fair will raise money for BirdLife’s Marine programme.

The world’s seabirds are more threatened than any other group of birds. BirdLife Partners have been engaged in mapping marine Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas around coasts, in territorial waters and on the high seas. The funds from the fair will enable the BirdLife Partnership to work with national governments and international bodies to create a network of marine protected areas. These areas will not only conserve seabirds, but will also help protect marine mammals and fish stocks.

This work will be vital if nations around the world are to stand any chance of meeting the Convention on Biological Diversity’s target of protecting 10% of marine and coastal areas by 2020.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
