Charities - conservation and ecology

The Countryside Alliance Foundation has a simple aim – to reconnect people with the British countryside. By increasing awareness of where our food comes from, encouraging conservation and increasing awareness and understanding of our countryside, its traditions and livelihoods, our goal is to inspire people of all ages to share our love of the countryside.

There are two Greenpeace organisations in the UK: Greenpeace Limited and Greenpeace Environmental Trust (registered charity number 284934).

Greenpeace Limited campaigns, lobbies and carries out non-violent direct actions in defence of the natural world. We work on issues ranging from climate change to oceans and promote solutions to environmental problems. A bequest to Greenpeace Limited will help to keep our campaigners in action on land and sea.

In the time it takes to read this advert another square kilometre of species rich tropical forest will be lost to logging, palm oil plantations, agriculture, mining or land grabs.

Making trees matter to everyone

The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) was founded in 1946 at Slimbridge, Gloucestershire by naturalist and artist the late Sir Peter Scott. It is the only UK charity with a national network of specialist wetland visitor centres. It works to save wetlands and their wildlife by identifying and acting to counter the threats that affect their survival. It is also dedicated to enhancing people’s lives through learning about and being close to nature, and to inspiring people to take action for wetland conservation.

We’re changing things for the better.

The environment is in crisis. But we remain positive.
