Birdworld has funded the purchase of 26 acres of threatened habitat in Africa and South America.

The Farnham-based family attraction donated to World Land Trust, an international charity dedicated to protecting the world’s most significant and threatened habitats.

The money has gone towards protecting habitats for endangered Black Harriers in Africa, The Clarke’s Weaver, a songbird only known to breed in Kenya, and the critically endangered El Rincón Stream Frog found in Argentina.

James Robson, General Manager of Birdworld, said: “Our aim is not only to protect endangered species here at Birdworld, but also to contribute to breeding and conservation programmes beyond our own.

“By supporting projects that safeguard habitats, we can also inspire and educate the next generation of decision makers.”
