About us

The Wildlife Trusts are on a mission to bring wildlife back.

 

46 Wildlife Trusts. One central charity.

The Wildlife Trusts is a federation made up of 46 Wildlife Trusts and a central charity (the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts). We work together across the UK, Alderney and the Isle of Man to:

  • Bring wildlife back
  • Help everyone to take meaningful action for nature
  • Create an inclusive society where nature matters

Local Action. Collective Impact. Global Change

Every Wildlife Trust is an independent charity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations. 

Together, we have more than 944,000 members, over 38,000 volunteers, 3,600 staff and 600 trustees, and manage over 2,600 nature reserves for nature and for people

Our vision

Our vision is of a thriving natural world, with our wildlife and natural habitats playing a valued role in addressing the climate and ecological emergencies, and everyone inspired to get involved in nature’s recovery.

We need to restore nature at a global scale, on land and at sea. And it needs to happen now.
