About

The 16 UK Overseas Territories (UKOTs) and five Crown Dependencies are spread across the world and are home to 94% of the biodiversity the UK is responsible for under international agreements. They host an incredible array of wildlife, with many territories having species found nowhere else on earth. They face many threats, including the impact of non-native invasive species and climate change; yet despite these, the amount of funding they are able to access is limited.

The Vision

To match key conservation projects across the UK Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies, with funders who want to help protect and restore some of the world’s rarest habitats and species, deliver environmental outputs and build community resilience for a sustainable future.
