The Wildlife Trusts believe that people are part of nature. Everything we value comes from it, and everything we do impacts upon it. By adopting a joined-up approach to our precious land, across developments and agriculture, we can bring about benefits that will work for people, for society and for wildlife, too. There are solutions where everyone can win.
