Endangered Species Wildlife Conservation

Cornwall Wildlife Trust safeguards over 5,500 acres of land to ensure the next generation is able to enjoy the wildlife-rich landscapes we enjoy today. Delivering these conservation programmes is an enormous undertaking and we need your help.

Our Priorities

Wilder Places - More land, rivers and seas managed well for wildlife

We will:

• grow our suite of nature reserves and manage them to be the best sites for wildlife
• run wildlife projects on land and in rivers and seas
• support and advise people who own and manage land and whose activities impact on our seas and rivers

Wilder People - More people taking action and connecting with nature

We will:

• raise awareness and inspire people to take action for wildlife
• speak out on behalf of our members
• and campaign to help Cornwall’s wildlife work with communities to record and understand the state of Cornwall’s wildlife and wild places

Wilder Future - More decisions that secure the recovery and growth of wildlife

We will:

• use our knowledge and experience to influence the plans and decisions of others
• play our part in fulfilling Cornwall’s commitment to environmental growth
• engage and inspire the next generation of decision makers

However you help us, you can be sure that this is contributing to the conservation of local wildlife and species.
