New Island Restoration
The New Island Restoration Programme aims to restore our New Island site in the Falklands, by removing invasive species to protect and rejuvenate its unique wildlife and habitats. Key goals include reintroducing endemic species, safeguarding endangered birds, and combating ecological degradation. But crucial funding is still required in order to realise this programme through to success.
New Island
Whale Projects
The project aims to better understand sei and southern right whales in the Falkland Islands, critical to developing effective conservation and management of whale populations, and ensuring their continued recovery from the whaling era.

🌺🌿 Exciting Visit to Our National Herbarium! 🌷🌼
Last week, we welcomed Christine, Curator of Natural History @portsmouthnhm It was a pleasure to showcase our Herbarium and share insights about Falklands flora. 🌾
Did you know? 🤔The collection that Christine manages includes a few specimens collected by Laurence Stickney of Spring Point in 1901-1902, who corresponded with plant biologist HLF Guermonprez. History and nature beautifully intertwined!
Our Herbarium is open to the public—come and discover the stories that our plant specimens tell! 🤩

This week marks 30 years since Falklands Conservation purchased Middle Island, 📅 made possible by Steve Spring and the World Parks Endowment in 1994.🌍 Covering 150 hectares, this rodent-free 🐀🚫island is a biodiversity hotspot and home to 33 breeding bird species, including all 3 Falklands endemics like Cobb’s Wren. 🐥🦆 It also hosts 84 plant species, including the endangered Falkland Rock-cress.🌼
Despite past impacts, the ongoing restoration project (supported by @georgiaseafoods, BFSAI Conservation Society and dedicated volunteers over the last five years) has seen 12.4 hectares planted with native vegetation, and this year, notable successes include self-seeding tussac 🌱and Striated Caracaras breeding. 🦅Middle Island remains a vital conservation site for the Falklands’ unique wildlife. 🌸🐦🐧
