  • Our Islands, Our History
    Our Islands, Our History WHAT Are the FAlklAnd IslAnds? Who are Falkland Islanders and what does it mean to be a citizen of our country? These are questions which Islanders are asked frequently but to which there are no quick answers. Our history goes some way towards explaining what it is to be a Falkland Islander. It is a fairly short history. Settlement is relatively recent: it began in the eighteen century and has only been continuous from the early nineteenth century. Unlike the Spanish and Portuguese colonial empires, we never had an indigenous population, so we have no ancient monuments or romantic mythologies to define our identity as Islanders. Other people have spun their own myths around our history and this explains why there are so many misconceptions about who we are and about our right to call the Falklands our home. The series of events which serve as the foundations upon which the Falkland Islands were built are what Our Islands, Our History aims to set out. Our history is one of long periods of tranquillity, punctuated by flurries of complex activity. The events of the 1760s and 1770s are involved but, with the help of the time line running throughout this publication, hopefully comprehensible. The period 1820 to 1833 is also complex and further complicated by the tendency to weave nationalist myths around the basic narrative. Although not a heavyweight reference document, this book is intended to explain to the interested reader how our diverse community has matured, embracing influences from the many nations whose sailors visited these shores or who settled in the Islands, developing a cultural identity all of our own, but always maintaining a close kinship with Britain.

  • The Distribution, Abundance and Population Trends of Gentoo, Rockhopper and King Penguins in the Falkland Islands
    The distribution, abundance and population trends of gentoo, rockhopper and king penguins in the Falkland Islands M. Bingham The Falkland Islands are a globally important breeding location for seabirds, including penguins. The total breeding populations of three of the four main penguin species present in the Falklands were censused in the austral summer of1995/96. The results for gentoo and rockhopper penguins suggest declines of about 43 and 90 per cent, respectively, since a similar census in 1932/33. Recent monitoring studies suggest that these declines are still continuing; research to investigate causes (which is likely to reflect changes in the marine, rather than terrestrial environment) is a high priority. In contrast, king penguin populations, currently c. 400 pairs, have increased steadily, by 700 per cent since 1980/81, in line with world-wide trends for this species. Introduction The Falklands' population of king penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus is very small, but was The Falkland Islands lie in the south-west still included in the census.

  • San Carlos to Goose Green
    2017 saw the 35th Anniversary of the Falkland Islands conflict. In January 2017, Sandra and I visited the Falkland Islands and took the battlefield tour from San Carlos to Goose Green. The personal recollection of that tour forms the basis of this evening’s presentation. Back in April 1982, two questions were on the lips of many in the UK: 1) Why should we worry about people living on an island that had been overrun by Argentina, and 2) Where are the Falkland Islands anyway? In 1982, the population of the Falkland Islands was approx. 1830 with the majority residing in and around the capital Port Stanley. The islands are a British overseas territory with the then Governor Rex Hunt representing the Queen and her government in the UK. Most residents had voted to remain British and so the PM at the time, Margaret Thatcher, with respect for their wishes, sent a military task force to secure their release and give them their freedom from Argentine aggression. The Falkland Islands are situated in the South Atlantic Ocean approx. 8000 miles away. Ascension Island is a barren rocky outcrop which benefits from a long airstrip. The base is shared between the British and US military. In 1982, Ascension Island was used as a steppingstone on the way to the islands. Troop ships took between 5 - 6 weeks to cover the distance from Portsmouth to Falkland Islands. We were fortunate to travel via the air bridge from RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire to RAF Mount Pleasant in the Falkland Islands, with a brief stopover at Ascension Island to refuel, the journey taking only about 20 hours.

  • 250 Years of Cattle on the Falkland Islands, 1763-2013 R. Trevor Wilson1
    Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences June 2016, Vol. 5, No. 1, pp. 1-19 ISSN: 2334-2404 (Print), 2334-2412 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jaes.v5n1a1 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jaes.v5n1a1 From Feral to fully farmed: 250 years of Cattle on the Falkland Islands, 1763-2013 R. Trevor Wilson1 Abstract A very few cattle were landed on the Falkland by the French in 1763, later augmented by about 60 head by the Spanish. Unoccupied from 1770 to 1820, reports then indicated 20,000 to 100,000 head roaming East Falkland. From the 1830s cattle were hunted for hides, an activity formalized through (British) Government land grants and slaughter licences. During the 1840s Government tried to attract settlers and sheep began to super cede cattle. There were occasional uncoordinated attempts to improve the genetics through introduction of “superior” breeds. An experimental farm established in the 1920s was short-lived as cattle numbers declined and sheep numbers increased. Further sporadic cattle imports were made during the mid twentieth century. Artificial insemination was introduced in the 1970s with imported British beef and dairy breed semen. A National Beef Herd was established in 1997 to breed superior cattle – mainly via artificial insemination and embryo transfer – able to produce organic or “near-organic” beef finished at 24-30 months under the harsh environment of the Falklands with a view to obtaining access to the EU market. Local farmers collectively own about 6000 cattle in small herds whose main objective is to supply household milk and beef.

MEJIAS Environmental Research Unit, PO Box 434, Stanley, Falkland Islands. E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected] SUMMARY: The Magellan region, including the Falkland Islands, is one of the world’s most important areas for seabirds, and especially penguins. World-wide there are 17 species of penguin; 7 of these regularly breed around the coastal waters of South America, and 5 within the Magellan region. These are the King Penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus), Gentoo Pen- guin (Pygoscelis papua), Rockhopper Penguin (Eudyptes c. chrysocome), Macaroni Penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus) and Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus). During the last five years, a review of the breeding populations of penguins within the Magellan region was conducted. This work included population censuses of all the surface breeding species throughout the Falkland Islands and southern South America. The results of this work are presented, along with other cited information, to provide a summary of the current knowledge of penguin populations within the Magellan region. Key words: Penguin, Magellan, Falkland, Chile, Argentina.

  • By Clive Richard Ellerby Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Modern History, Oxford University, for the Degree of Doctor of Philo
    BRITISH INTERESTS II THE FALKLAND ISLAIDS; ECQffQMIC DEVELOPMENT, THE FALKLAND LOBBY ABD THE SOVEREIGNTY DISPUTE. 1945 TQ 1989 By Clive Richard Ellerby Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Modern History, Oxford University, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Hilary Term 1990 Exeter College, University of Oxford A.S.L.I.B. ABSTRACT Clive Richard Ellerby, Exeter College, Oxford. D.Phil. Thesis in Modern History. Hilary Term 1990, British interests in the Falkland Islands: economic development, the Falkland Lobby and the sovereignty dispute. 1945 to 1989 The aim of the thesis is to study the circumstances which influenced the policy of the British Government towards the decolonization of the Falklands from 1945 to 1989. A comprehensive approach to the subject enabled an examination of the inter-relationship between the various forces which defined the nature of the dilemma. The themes included economic development, the form of landownership in the Colony, Falkland politics, the strategic value of the Islands, Anglo- Argentine trade and the Antarctic dimension. The thesis presents an original interpretation of how volatile and unpredictable pressures defined the dispute. A pattern emerges which shows that Government policy consisted of responses to different situations. The structure is based on a chronological approach which concentrates on the seven major turning-points in the dispute and how they were perceived in Britain and the Falklands. It also includes three original case studies. First, there is a socio- economic study of the peculiar approach to the colonization of the Falklands in the nineteenth century which provides a background to later developments. Secondly, the 1982 Conflict shows how the problems of the last British colonial territories can be in inverse proportion to their size.

  • The Logistics of the British Recovery of the Falkland Islands 1982
    The Logistics of the British Recovery of the Falkland Islands 1982 Stephen Badsey There is a saying—now a military cliché—attributed to several senior army and navy commanders of the mid-20th century, that amateurs or juniors discuss tactics, while their seniors and other professionals discuss logistics; a saying that has been qualified in recent decades by the view that the most senior and professional decisions of all are concerned with force generation, the creation of the formations needed for a possible future war.1 Logistics, together with force generation, was very obviously of critical importance to the British recovery of the Falkland Islands in April-June 1982. Port Stanley, the Falklands’ capital and only town, is considerably further from London than Tokyo is. The British won chiefly because of their ability, in an improvised military campaign for which they had no prior planning, to project and sustain a Task Force consisting of a Carrier Task Group and an Amphibious Task Group across a distance of over 12,000 kilometres. A vital role was played by the small British territory of Ascension Island in the South Atlantic, just over half way to the Falklands. A lesser but still important role was played by the British recovery early in the campaign of the island of South Georgia, which in 1982 was part of the Falkland Islands Dependencies, and is about 1,500 kilometres east of East Falkland. However, the lack of a secure harbour or port facility of any size on either Ascension Island or South Georgia imposed a severe time limit on how long the British warships could remain in the South Atlantic before they would need to leave the area for essential maintenance.2 The most basic logistic requirements for the Falklands War, as for most wars of this period, were ammunition, fuel, food, medical support, maintenance, and transport.
