This site aims to give you an overview of the department, the projects and the wildlife and nature of Ascension Island.
The Ascension Island Government Conservation Department started in 2001 when the British Foreign and Commonwealth office (FCO) funded the Seabird Restoration Project which was managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). Since then, the department has developed from 1 Conservation Officer to a staff of 6 and volunteers and receives support from the Ascension Island Government, RSPB, OTEP, and other sources.
The AIG Conservation Department aims to conserve Ascension natural heritage by implementing the Governments commitments under the Environment Charter
