历史
曼彻斯特为纪念英国皇家鸟类保护协会成立了100周年的活动

1889年，艾米莉·威廉姆森在曼彻斯特迪兹伯里的自宅（现在的弗莱彻苔藓植物园）創立了羽衣聯盟（The Plumage League）[8]，成立宗旨是反对用凤头鸊鷉和海鸥的皮與羽毛制作裘衣。[9]該組織之後與毛皮和羽毛聯盟（Fur and Feather League）在克羅伊登合併成現今的英國皇家鳥類保護協會。

英国皇家鸟类保护协会的创始成员都是女性一种带有异国风情的帽子，这种帽子由皮毛制成。她们全力反对使用这种帽子。[9]

英国皇家鸟类保护协会成立时，制作帽子的羽毛的贸易额非常大。在1884年第一季度，大约有7000极乐鸟的毛皮被进口到英国，此外还有西印度和巴西的40万鸟和东印度的36万只鸟。[10]

英国皇家鸟类保护协会不断吸引一些社会地位较高的妇女的支持。渐渐地，协会也开始吸引许多其他影响力较高的人物，且不分男女，如鸟类学家教授Alfred Newton。协会得到了较好的发展，吸引了许多新成员。成立仅15年后，协会便得到了爱德华七世的皇家宪章。英国皇家鸟类保护协会还帮助英国议会推出了禁止用羽毛制作服装的法律。[8]

主要活动

现在，英国皇家鸟类保护协会与公务员一起工作，并同这些公务员一起向政府提供关于环保的政策。 在英国，它是协助编写官方所有已发现鸟类的保护状态列表的组织之一。

自然保护区
