Our Natural World
Newt Conservation Partnership
We want to ensure that our natural world is restored and protected and that people benefit from that recovery.
Working with others, we will contribute to three key impact goals by 2030:
- Preserved and improved species health and habitats
- Sustainable and ethical food
- Clean and healthy freshwater
In a series of blogs, we share more about our current work to improve Our Natural World.
Our priorities
There are five priorities through which we believe we can best contribute to these goals over the next seven years.
If you would like to apply for funding under any of these priorities, please read our Guidance for Support.
