Todays blog is written by Emma Horton, Senior Policy Officer and our lead on Avian Influenza, she highlights the need to be prepared as avian flu continues to circulate across the globe, with the potential for new outbreaks in the UK at any time.
This is the first of a series of two blogs. Here we update on the current situation with avian flu in the UK and internationally, and the action the RSPB is taking. Our next blog will then outline the essential steps we need Governments to take to reduce the risk of future disease outbreaks and to limit their impacts, alongside the crucial action needed if our already struggling wild bird populations are to recover and be resilient to disease threats.
