[2] The origins of FC go back to 1979 when a group of naturalists, including Peter Scott, established a UK registered charity, the Falkland Islands Foundation (FIF), to protect the wildlife of the Falklands and its historic shipwrecks.
With the merger of FIT and FIF in 1991, it was formally launched on 1 August by David Attenborough as Falklands Conservation.
From 2017 Falkland Conservation was involved in a five-year monitoring project for globally endangered sei whales, conducting surveys and collecting data on the species on the Falkland Islands’ inner shelf waters, down to a depth of 100 m, determining that it formed a Key Biodiversity Area for the species.
