Nature Investigations

We uncover the issues and shine a light on the problems facing nature in Wales

One in Five

One out of every five species in Wales is facing extinction. One in Five is our flagship investigations campaign, examining five of the biggest threats facing Welsh wildlife through a series of in-depth reports and films. Combining investigative journalism, scientific evidence and powerful storytelling, we will expose what is driving nature’s decline and what needs to change. Our first investigation into wildfires and illegal grassland burning, is now available to read.

Raising funds for projects that matter most

Voluntary donations and grants are vital to our work. When we undertake major initiatives, we may launch dedicated appeals to generate additional support and unlock matched funding, helping us deliver greater impact for the communities we serve.

Get involved

Our volunteers are fundamental to our work, we have a board of trustees who all volunteer their time alongside people across Wales involved in direct conservation activities.
