Whitley Fund for Nature is a UK charity. We have channelled £19 million to 200 conservation leaders in 80 countries across the Global South, benefiting wildlife, landscapes and people.
We offer funding, profile and training to wildlife conservationists who lead projects with passion, based on the latest science.
Laddered support allows successful grassroots solutions to be scaled up, making a global impact. Meet the 2021 winner of our top prize – the Whitley Gold Award.
