Wildlife Trusts partnership

There are 47 Wildlife Trusts across the United Kingdom. Collectively, we have over half a million members and protect 320 square miles of wildlife habitats as nature reserves - an area the size of New York City.

We are all independent charities but work together to protect and enhance our precious natural environment. All the Trusts are members of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts and through this partnership we are able to have an impact on the environment at local, regional and national levels.

The Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts is represented by the following people:

• Prince Charles is the patron
• Professor Aubrey Manning is the president
• Sir David Attenborough, Professor Chris Baines, Nick Baker, Professor David MacDonald, Bill Oddie OBE, Chris Packham, Julian Pettifer, Sir Robert Worcester are vice-presidents
• Stephanie Hilborne is the chief executive
