Together we have over 900,000 members, 32,500 volunteers and 3,400 staff across the UK.

We undertake research, we stand up for wildlife and wild places under threat, and we help people access nature.
The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in.

We recognise that this will require big, bold changes in the way The Wildlife Trusts work.

A key component of the project is the establishment of a Centre of Excellence for Evidencebased Conservation, which will drive long-term improvements in how evidence is used in conservation efforts.
