Now that, thanks to all of your support in the Habitat Restoration project, South Georgia has been declared rodent free – we aim to keep it that way and so increase by millions the numbers of birds living there. Read more about our current projects here.

CULTURAL HERITAGE PROJECTS

The human history of South Georgia is one of scientific exploration, bravery, endurance, inginuity and sadly the industrial scale hunting of whales and seals for their oil and other products. The lessons of the past must not be forgotten if we are to proceed wisely into the future.
