A word from our Chairperson, Pete Tomlin:

“At the NBN Trust…we are thinking carefully about what a more connected, interoperable, and agile Trust should look like, sitting at the centre of a network of services delivered with and for our stakeholders.

The Board’s focus is on supporting the Trust to stay trusted, relevant and resilient. The next phase will require careful choices, strong partnerships, and a sustainable operating model, but the need for the Trust’s work has never been clearer”.

A word from our Chairperson, Pete Tomlin:

“In ecological terms, the NBN Trust continues to be the ‘keystone species’ of the conservation sector, providing access to the data you all need to make good, evidence-based decisions. With nearly a billion records downloaded from the NBN Atlas in 2024/25 alone, the impact and value of our work is felt across academia, research, conservation, public policy and citizen science, with a scope that goes from the hyper-local to the global”.

A word from our Retiring Chair, Neil Hodges

“It has been a career highlight supporting such an important charity and working with its partners across the National Biodiversity Network (NBN)….I look back over six years to how the Trust has increased its focus on the environmental impact of its work, avoiding the trap of collecting data for data’s sake; the strengthening of the NBN Atlas befitting its role as a UK hub for biodiversity data; and I will have particularly fond recollections of working with many outstanding individuals who, often as volunteers, dedicate themselves to tackling environmental challenges”.

A word from our Chair, Neil Hodges

“Our exciting 2022-2027 strategy to achieve our vision is well and truly up and running thanks to the tireless efforts of staff at the Trust and partnerships with many organisations and individuals across the National Biodiversity Network who share our vision. Whether that is with biodiversity data providers and users, or receipt of support from funders, the Trust team has achieved great things and is having a meaningful impact.”

A word from our CEO, Lisa Chilton

“This was a year of new beginnings for the Trust: a new strategy, new partnerships and projects, new staff and new directions. While our core business of bringing together people, organisations and data is unchanged, the political and environmental context is always evolving, and we must evolve too.”

For a charity, impact is everything. It’s why we exist, it’s how we attract funders and supporters, and it’s what motivates our team to strive for more. But for a charity like us, a charity that provides a behind-the scenes service to the entire conservation community, it can be difficult to demonstrate our impact in a meaningful way. We’ve started to do this and with you, our partners, we’re sure we can do even more in the future to show our collective value and impact.

Some words from our Chair and CEO

Chair – Neil Hodges

“Stabilise. Renew. Springboard. Those are the words that come to mind as I look back over the year…The state of nature in the UK makes it ever more important that we renew and accelerate the work of the Trust and the National Biodiversity Network…In partnership, stability and a springboard for success should help us to overcome the challenges faced by the natural world as we renew our efforts in championing biodiversity data”.

CEO – Lisa Chilton

“Wildlife data is essential for making good decisions for nature. It’s why we’re here. It’s why our charity was created 22 years ago, and it’s why our role is more important now than ever…In this year’s Impact Report, we’ve included partners’ testimonials and new insights into the data held on the NBN Atlas. We’ve also started to explore the stories behind the data, but there’s much more we can do, and we hope you’ll work with us in the coming year to share your stories and shine a light on the impact of accessible biodiversity data”.
