Support Hen Harrier Conservation efforts

Hen Harrier Action is raising funds for 4 Satellite Tags to fit to 4 young Hen Harriers in 2024, in a bid to protect and safeguard Britain’s most heavily persecuted Bird of Prey.

The Hen Harrier is native to the British isles, breeding on hills and moors. It is a jewel of the uplands, yet an incredibly rare sight.

Hen Harriers face many threats, but the largest comes from illegal persecution: by poisoning, trapping and shooting on grouse moors.

The crimes committed by those who kill Hen Harriers are frequently hard to pinpoint due to the remoteness of the locations these birds inhabit. Prosecution remains difficult.

However, birds fitted with Satellite tags can help shape better conservation action to protect these birds, and act as a strong deterrent against criminals looking to kill Hen Harriers.

Each satellite tag costs between £2500 - £3500. From the funds raised from this appeal, we will use our strong relationship with the RSPB to fund the tagging and monitoring of 4 young Hen Harriers in the spring of 2024.

If you care about our British wildlife and want to see a future where Hen Harriers can live freely without the constant threat of illegal persecution, then please support this appeal.
