Société royale pour la protection des oiseaux
La Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB - Société royale pour la protection des oiseaux) est la plus grande organisation pour la protection des animaux en Europe, elle compte plus d'un million de membres, plus que les trois principaux partis politiques de la Grande-Bretagne réunis.
Cette organisation a été fondée en 1889 en Angleterre pour lutter contre l'utilisation de plumes de grèbes, notamment de grèbe huppé dans l'habillement féminin comme fac-similé de la fourrure. La population de grèbe huppé était, à cette époque, proche de l'extinction.
Son quartier général est situé à The Lodge, Sandy dans le Bedfordshire.
En 2001, la RSPB compte 168 réserves naturelles pour les oiseaux en Grande-Bretagne, représentant 1 150 km².
L'emblème de la Royal Society est une avocette.
