Help us create a thriving countryside rich in game and other wildlife

What do we do?

• We use science to promote game and wildlife management as an essential part of nature conservation.
• We develop scientifically researched game and wildlife management techniques.
• We promote our work to conservationists, including farmers and landowners and offer an on-site advisory service on all aspects of game and wildlife management, so that Britain’s countryside and its wildlife are enhanced for the public benefit.
• We influence government policy with sound science that creates progressive and effective policies.
• We support best practice for field sports that contribute to improving the biodiversity of the countryside.

What do we believe?

• Scientific research should underpin sustainable conservation practice.
• Game and wildlife management is the foundation of good conservation.
• Field sports (in particular shooting and fishing) can contribute substantially to the conservation of landscape, habitat and wildlife.
• Humane and targeted predator control is an essential part of effective game and wildlife conservation.
• We utterly oppose those who engage in wildlife crime.
• Good conservation goes hand-in-hand with economic land use.

How your money is spent
