Project of the month

On the Baltic Sea island of Hiddensee, a valuable area of salt marsh was in danger of being lost to speculative development – a vital habitat urgently needed by the endangered Northern Lapwing, Common Redshank and other species.

Our second land purchase on Hiddensee will secure these salt marshes for the long term and restore habitat for the birds that live there – please support us in this endeavour... to the project
