Save the Regent
Honeyeater from extinction.
From flocks of
thousands, as few as 400 remain.
Dear supporter,
Did you know most
Regent Honeyeaters spotted today are only seen singly, in pairs or tiny
flocks?
The largest group in
any one location this year has been 6 Regents. That was from our latest
surveys.
Compare this to the
start of the 1900s. That’s when flocks
of thousands were recorded.
In little more than
100 years…
Due to excessive
land clearing and woodland habitat destruction…
Now only less than
400 Regent Honeyeaters may be left!
That makes this
species Critically
Endangered…
Just a step away
from becoming Extinct.
You may have already
seen my letter about the Spring Appeal to help save birds like the Regent
Honeyeater. If you’ve already donated, then thank you. Your
generosity is very much appreciated.
Otherwise,
I urge you to give today. Your gift will be used to preserve and protect
the remnant woodlands left for this remnant bird population.
The
Regent Honeyeater needs your help.
And it’s not just
Regent Honeyeaters you’ll be saving… but Endangered birds like the Swift
Parrot and Forty-spotted Pardalote too.Thank you for heeding the call of
birds like the Regent Honeyeater.
