The Wildlife Trusts
The Wildlife Trusts comprise 47 individual Wildlife Trusts covering the whole of the UK, with more than 800,000 members. This year is particularly significant as they celebrate their centenary, and with it, the start of nature conservation as we know it. Charles Rothschild, founder of The Wildlife Trusts, was the first person to identify the need to protect places for wildlife, and in 1912 he formed a charity to drive this ambition forward. That charity became known as The Wildlife Trusts and his idea became the blueprint for nature conservation.
