Our new report on how WFN accelerates the careers of conservation leaders.

We’ve rounded up reasons to remain positive in the new year, with highlights from Whitley Award winners’ work over the past 12 months.

This winter we have been lucky enough to meet many of you in person again, at a series of events. We have loved reconnecting with you all: our incredible family of WFN supporters.

We have launched an ambitious new fundraising programme for young people passionate about the planet.

We are thrilled to have reached our goal of raising £100,000 through the Big Give Christmas Challenge!

For the first time in the charity’s history, this year WFN is awarding over £1 million pounds of Continuation Funding.
