GIS Support Officer

About Us

The Wildlife Trusts are a grassroots movement of people from a wide range
of backgrounds and all walks of life, who believe that we need nature and nature needs us. We have
more than 944,000 members, over 38,000 volunteers, 3,600 staff and 600 trustees. 

There are 46
individual Wildlife Trusts, each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal
identity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive
difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live and work. 

Every Wildlife
Trust is part of The Wildlife Trusts federation and a corporate member of the Royal Society of
Wildlife Trusts, a registered charity in its own right founded in 1912 and one of the founding
members of IUCN – the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. 

Taken together this
federation of 47 charities is known as The Wildlife Trusts. The next few years will be critical in
determining what kind of world we all live in. We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and
put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. We
recognise that this will require big, bold changes in the way The Wildlife Trusts work, not least
in how we mobilise others and support them to organise within their own communities.
