Support BirdLife's 'Think Pink' campaign to save Africa's flamingos | ^ top |
 www.birdlife.org/action/campaigns/lake_natron_flamingos
'Think Pink - save Africa's flamingos' is BirdLife’s campaign to stop the proposed development at Lake Natron, which BirdLife believes will displace and scatter the 500,000 pairs of Lesser Flamingos which nest at Lake Natron.
Lake Natron, in northern Tanzania, is the only regular and successful breeding site for Lesser Flamingos in East Africa.

Kamfers Dam supports South Africa’s only breeding population of Lesser Flamingos, and is one of only four breeding sites in Africa. The site is under increasing threat from deteriorating water quality and unsustainable development on the northern outskirts of the dam.
The 'Save the Flamingo' campaign is dedicated to addressing the threats that face Kamfers Dam and ensuring the long-term future of its Lesser Flamingos.
