Wildlife Trusts Wales works closely with the five Welsh Wildlife Trusts. In Wales, over 100 people are employed by Wildlife Trusts and there are over 2,000 volunteers!

From 2024 to 2026, Wildlife Trusts Wales is delighted to be receiving support from the Welsh Government through The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

For over a decade, The Wildlife Trusts have campaigned with other environmental organisations in the UK for new laws to provide better protection for marine habitats and wildlife. As a result, the ground-breaking Marine and Coastal Access Act (Marine Act) was introduced in November 2009, providing UK Government with the tools needed to revolutionise the management of our marine environment. Wildlife Trusts Wales are calling for the Marine Act to be effectively implemented in Wales, and the opportunities provided by the Act seized to ensure real benefits for biodiversity around the Welsh coast.

The Wildlife Trusts are attending IUCN World Conservation Congress. Learn more about the Congress and why The Wildlife Trusts are attending.

The Wildlife Trusts believe that we are part of nature and that we depend on the natural world for our wellbeing and prosperity. Everything we value comes from nature and everything we do has an impact on it. We believe that nature should be a normal part of childhood and that wildlife should thrive across our landscape. However, nature is in crisis.

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.
