Wildlife and Countryside Link

Led by Richard Benwell, Wildlife and Countryside Link (Link) is the largest environment and wildlife coalition in England. It brings together 82 member organisations, ranging from nature conservation organisations such as the Marine Conservation Society, RSPB and Rewilding Britain, to more advocacy or litigation focussed groups such as Client Earth. Link coordinates activity across its 82 members, running joint advocacy and public campaigns to bring about changes to environmental law and policy. The coalition’s work spans a wide range of issues related to conservation and access to nature, as well as an increasing focus on chemical pollution.
