Welcome to the Wildlife Matters Community. Thank you for being a voice for Nature and wildlife. We appreciate your interest in finding out a bit more about us.
Why Wildlife Matters to us
Wildlife Matters was born from our passion and a lifelong love for wildlife and the natural world. With over 30 years of experience working for wildlife and conservation charities in the UK, Africa, and Asia, we have gained invaluable insights into species protection, conservation, and habitat management.
We have a profound love for plants and trees and all aspects of Nature, including habitats, Oceans and rivers, but our absolute passion is wildlife.
In addition, our practical experience in Woodland Management and Horticulture has given us the tools to make a difference in the fight to protect our natural world.
We have hands-on experience working with sick and injured animals on the frontline in a busy wildlife rescue. Over the past three decades, we have also taken direct action against hunters and anyone who persecutes wildlife for so-called sport.
Our knowledge and experience are as diverse and varied as they are broad.
British wildlife is not only beautiful and unique but also fascinating and varied. While our mammals may not be the largest, they possess unique qualities and live in a wide range of habitats, including the beautiful bat species of the UK’s only flying mammal.
Our birdlife is abundant, and many new species from Southern Europe have joined us in recent years. Our passion lies in raptors, owls, and corvids, and we always remember our reptiles, amphibians, and insects as they are the foundation of biodiverse habitats and lead fascinating lives in unique places.
Wildlife Matters Community
Wildlife Matters is dedicated to building a community of nature and wildlife enthusiasts. A podcast is the best way to achieve this.
Our podcast serves as the beating heart of our community. It will explore the successes, problems, and challenges facing wildlife and the natural world every week.
It also provides an instant way to connect with our audience and respond to situations as they happen.
We use our platform to share our adventures and experiences in Nature while looking at incredible wildlife and sharing some of its secrets.
We will also give as many small wildlife groups as possible a platform and a voice to inform others of their work or campaigns. Of course, we will continue to advocate and urge the British government to fulfil its wildlife commitments.
We are taking Action
Our primary goals are to achieve a complete ban on blood hunting with packs of dogs, end the ineffective badger culls, and eliminate wildlife crime, which has become a significant problem in most parts of the UK in recent years.
We also aim to establish a space for grassroots organisations and individuals working on local wildlife or habitat projects to cooperate with larger groups and NGOs campaigning for change.
We are passionate about being a platform for direct action groups that work tirelessly to prevent blood hunters and those who intentionally harm or destroy our wildlife and natural habitats.
Our community is always open to hearing from you about any issues that we should cover. Do you run a wildlife project or group and want to raise awareness of your work in our community? Please get in touch.
We aim to provide information for those with a new interest in Wildlife and Nature, including plants or trees, while entertaining those with more knowledge and experience.
