The Wildlife Trusts believe that development should not come at the expense of our natural environment. All development, be it housing, commercial or infrastructure must be designed and delivered in a way that contributes to nature’s recovery, not its decline.

The next UK General Election must be a turning point for nature. ALL political parties must take nature loss and climate change seriously and act to bring about its recovery. Find information and resources to help you speak up for nature with The Wildlife Trusts.

Take on the Big Wild Walk for nature and climate in October

Wildlife Trusts Wales have a number of partnership projects which are bringing people closer to nature, and securing a Wilder Future for wildlife in Wales.

In October 2024, global governments will be coming together in Colombia to discuss the nature emergency. The conference, known as COP16, will review how well each country is doing against targets set in 2022 (at COP15 in Canada) to bring about nature's recovery by 2030.

With nature still in decline in Wales and in some cases going backwards on the targets set, Wildlife Trusts Wales
share what the Welsh Government needs to do to meet global targets and lead on the world stage.

The UK's biggest nature challenge with The Wildlife Trusts will be returning on 1st June 2025!
