Active Conservation Conserving threatened mammals
with evidence-led conservation work

Vincent Wildlife Trust is celebrating 50 years of mammal conservation in Britain, Ireland and mainland Europe. Since being founded by the late Hon Vincent Weir, a highly accomplished naturalist and a philanthropist, VWT has been at the forefront of wildlife conservation using sound scientific research and developing innovative wildlife conservation action that have had a  real impact on species populations.

Today, its work focuses on threatened mammals, including rare bats and a small number of carnivores — mostly members of the weasel family (the mustelids).
