Join us online as we celebrate the latest Whitley Award winners on Wednesday 29 April
We will announce our 2026 Whitley Award winners live from the Royal Geographical Society, London. The ceremony will be live streamed worldwide from 7.30pm BST, and hosted by WFN Ambassadors Tom Heap and Kate Humble with the awards presented by our Patron HRH The Princess Royal.
This year, we’ll also celebrate WFN Ambassador Sir David Attenborough’s upcoming 100th birthday. By sharing his awe and wonder for nature, he has inspired people around the world – including Whitley Award winners – to do all we can to protect our planet, for all life on Earth.
Watch highlights from last year’s Whitley Awards:
Our annual Whitley Awards find, fund and support exceptional conservationists leading community-focussed projects that benefit nature and people. The global search and assessment is run by an expert Judging Panel. Meet the shortlisted candidates.
