The RSPB will also be at the Summer Craft Fair promoting its new campaign “Stepping Up for Nature”, which aims to halt the decline in biodiversity in the UK by 2020 by urging everyone from school children to government ministers to take a variety of steps to protect wildlife.

There will be a variety of free and exciting educational games for children and families of all ages. You can also find out what the RSPB do to protect all kinds of wildlife, from the huge basking sharks that live in the seas around Northern Ireland to vultures in Asia.

The RSPB are inviting everyone to come along and learn about protecting wildlife in Northern Ireland and the steps you can take to help halt biodiversity loss and preserve all our wild life for future generations.
