We're proud to support these pioneering organizations that are leading the way in UK nature recovery. Each represents a different approach to healing our landscapes and restoring biodiversity.
The Conservation Collective launches, funds and grows environmental foundations where they create the most impact: on the ground. Since 2008, they've launched 20 global foundations, dispersing millions to grassroots groups working to protect and regenerate biodiversity.
Their approach of empowering local communities and grassroots organizations is exactly what's needed for effective nature recovery. By supporting those most affected by environmental problems, they ensure conservation efforts are sustainable, community-led, and deeply rooted in local knowledge and commitment.
Knepp is a trailblazing 3,500-acre rewilding project that has transformed from intensive farmland into a thriving wildlife haven. Since 2000, life has poured back to Knepp, including nightingales, turtle doves, and purple emperor butterflies – some of Britain's rarest creatures.
Knepp proves that nature can bounce back dramatically when given the chance. Their process-led rewilding approach, using grazing animals to create dynamic landscapes, offers a scalable model for transforming degraded farmland across the UK. It's a story of hope showing what's possible when we work with nature, not against it.
Heal Somerset is creating "a wonderful new place for nature" through landscape-scale rewilding and nature recovery projects across Somerset. They focus on healing damaged landscapes and creating connected habitats that benefit both wildlife and local communities.
Heal Somerset demonstrates the power of thinking at landscape scale. By connecting fragmented habitats and working across large areas, they're creating resilient ecosystems that can support thriving wildlife populations. Their approach shows how regional coordination can amplify conservation impact far beyond individual site boundaries.
