In 1982 The Conservation Foundation was formed by David Shreeve and David Bellamy and since then we’ve been working to Inspire, Enable and Celebrate positive environmental action. The Conservation Foundation creates and manages environmental projects, award schemes, awareness campaigns, publications and events covering wide ranging issues and aimed at different and diverse audiences. Some include the spiritual dimension of concern for the environment. The Foundation is also an environmental incubator, helping fledgling organisations get off the ground and turning good ideas into fundable projects. We have no members, what we do is funded by sponsors and organisations such as the Heritage Lottery and National Lottery Community Funds. As a registered charity, we can also accept donations for projects or to pay running costs. Our approach is inclusive and fun, never confrontational or strident. Projects are run as partnerships – with corporate and individual sponsors, government departments, media organisations, trusts and foundations.
