The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) promotes the conservation of wetlands focusing on rare wetland birds. Founded in 1946 by the artist and naturalist Sir Peter Scott, WWT is the largest international wetland conservation charity in the UK.

WWT promotes wetland conservation by:

Bringing People Closer to Wildlife
Engendering care and concern for wetlands by bringing people into close contact with ducks, geese and swans at wetland centres throughout the UK.

Saving Threatened Waterbirds
Undertaking conservation action for threatened wetland birds, including long-term monitoring of wild populations and managing captive breeding programmes.

Providing Safe Havens for Birds
Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust sites provide sanctuary for thousands of internationally important wetland birds.

Protecting Wetlands for Life
Contributing to policy and legal protection of wetlands by providing decision-makers with advice based on sound science.

Creating Wetlands
Developing wetlands big and small, including large-scale projects such as those showcased at WWT's Welsh Centre at Llanelli and in the heart of London at the Wetland Centre (the largest and most complex wetlands ever created in the UK).

Nature in Art is the world's first museum dedicated exclusively to fine, decorative and applied art inspired by nature from any period, any culture and in any media.

One of the oldest, probably the largest and certainly the best known and respected specialist collection of birds of prey in the world. Housing approximately 300 birds of over 80 species, the Centre leads the world in the number of species bred in captivity. To date 55 species have been bred here, with new species laying eggs each year.
