our commitment to conservation
We financially support many local and national conservation bodies and are also institutional members of the Ecotourism Society - an international body that promotes environmentally responsible eco-tourism worldwide. To continue our support of conservation groups or organisations which promote a better understanding of Shetland's natural heritage, we encourage all travellers to join one of the following charities during their visit to Shetland:
Friends of Fair Isle Bird
Observatory - by supporting this charity you will be
contributing directly to ornithological research on Fair
Isle. You will receive an annual report and several
newsletters.
Shetland Bird Club -
responsible for recording Shetland birds and voicing
opinion on local conservation matters, members receive an
annual bird report and several newsletters.
Shetland Sea Mammal
Group - responsible for recording sea mammals around
the Shetland coastline, the group produces a dedicated
annual report and several newsletters every year.
