The Scottish Wildlife trust is one of, if not the largest charity that supports and generates growth of natural ecosystems throughout Scotland and has been doing so for over 50 years. Their vision is for various networks of healthy and self sustained ecosystems throughout Scotland supporting both the people and animals alike.

Scottish wildlife trust recognize that Scotland’s flora and fauna have made a heavy decline throughout the 20th century as industrialization spread through the country. Intense farming and tree felling saw many species die away due to destruction of habitat. Others, poisoned due to plastic waste. Some families have been pushed to the brink of extinction. Only recently has this emerging threat been slowed as charities such as Scotland Wildlife Trust make an effort to replenish the diversity and volume of wild and clean areas throughout the country.

To meet thier aims and objectives for healthier habitats in Scotland, the charity is currently working on several projects simultaneously, from reinvigorating soils and swamps for new growth in areas of arid and desolate wildlands, to maintaining and restoring vital food chains off the coasts of the country. The Scottish Wildlife Trust is doing all it can in every area of scotland to give nature the best possible chances it has against climate change and pollution of all forms.

In a climate that is changing as rapidly as it is, it’s critical that these fragile ecosystems full of life are kept as preserved and healthy as possible. Without them, our very own existence could be put under threat!

As a species that has the ability to determine the fate of the planet we live on, it can only be seen as our biggest responsibility to care for and maintain the precious flora and fauna we find around us every day.

Although only a team of seven, OneKind have been one of the most significant charities improving animal welfare in Scotland, having relations with members in the Scottish, as well as the British parliaments. This means that, though the group is small, they are placed in a position that can make a lot of difference through investigations and political pressure, changing the future welfare standards of how wild and domesticated animals are treated.

The charity is actively advocating for various movements including banning cruel farmed animal cages, legal and illegal wildlife trapping, importing of fur and more. They aim to make positive change through exposure and education to the public via open seminars and classes that anyone can join if interested. OneKind gains vital information through public reports gathered through services such as Snarewatch to gain better evidence and understanding of the situation and then if need be using this to put pressure on governing bodies to create change through law and legislation.

OneKind also have a longer history than most equivalent charities, dating all the way back to 1911, starting with the Ivory sisters who campaigned against animal testing and vivisection of pet dogs. From these humble beginnings, the group has jumped from campaign to campaign, making success stories over and over throughout them. Every year has given the charity more and more experience and training on how to make a positive difference and push for change. If any animal welfare law is passed through the Scottish, or even British parliament, you can bet this small, but strong group has something to do with it.
