Amur falcon massacre - You can
help
November 2012. The 100,000+ Amur falcons that are killed every year in India, revealed by Conservation India, (As reported in Wildlife Extra) has caused a stir throughout the conservation community.
Such is the reach of social
media that this emotive story went viral within hours and during the next few
days, news quickly spread around the world shocking all who read about the
Amurs' plight. Conservation India's highly effective campaign has already
helped galvanise local, national and international action.
Birdlife has set up a fund to
help stop this slaughter, and they invite you to help stop this killing forever
by donating to an emergency fund that will help Bombay Natural History Society
(BirdLife in India) coordinate the action that is required to ensure this
massacre will never happen again. If you are moved by this issue please don't
turn aside - donating now will make a huge difference to the future of these
birds and every little helps.
Local actions
Vital actions that will be funded this way include establishing field teams to monitor the Amur Falcons at their roost sites, direct intervention to prevent further illegal hunting of all species and the establishment of a sustained education and engagement programme within communities in Nagaland and other north-eastern states of India, where illegal and indiscriminate hunting is sadly still prevalent.
