Membership goes from strength to strength
We recently reported of our successful membership drive and the new members we had attracted.
We are delighted to announce that the following organisations have also joined the NBN Trust:
The Linnean Society
The Linnean Society of London is the world’s oldest active biological society. Founded in 1788, the Society takes its name from the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778) whose botanical, zoological and library collections have been in its keeping since 1829. As it moves into its third century the Society continues to play a central role in the documentation of the world’s flora and fauna – as Linnaeus himself did – recognising the continuing importance of such work to biodiversity conservation.
The Mammal Society
The Mammal Society is the only organisation involved in the study and conservation of all British mammals. From dormice to dolphins, bats to badgers, mammals are essential to Britain’s biodiversity. The Society works to identify the threats our mammals face, and halt declines before it’s too late. It promotes the study of mammals with the aim of offering the best scientific advice for their conservation. It informs, educates and involves people of all ages to raise awareness of mammal conservation issues, in order to help protect them for the future.
The Mammal Society is also one of the national societies involved in the RISC project
People’s Trust for Endangered Species
In a constantly changing world where wildlife is under threat, many species are declining at an alarming rate. Since 1977 People’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) has been helping to ensure a future for many endangered species throughout the world. PTES is a registered charity with a board of trustees and fifteen employed staff members.
The scale of actual and potential loss of wildlife can seem overwhelming. The Trust focuses on specific problems and works to preserve endangered species in their natural habitats. It believes that successful conservation is based on sound scientific evidence and advice with practical outcomes. To find out more about its work visit the website

The Wiltshire & Swindon Biological Records Centre (WSBRC) is a not-for-profit partnership initiative housed at the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, which provides a central reference point for environmental information on species, sites, habitats and geology in Wiltshire and Swindon.
