Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
We are a leading botanic garden and a global centre for biodiversity science, horticulture and education. We conserve one of the world’s richest botanical collections at our four gardens Edinburgh, Benmore, Dawyck and Logan. Life on Earth is in jeopardy as we face an environmental crisis with catastrophic biodiversity loss and a climate emergency. These threats to our life support system demand urgent and collective action. Our response is to explore, conserve and explain the world of plants, pushing the boundaries of our scientific knowledge to find and apply solutions. We engage nationally and internationally, empowering individuals, communities and partners to protect our botanic world, helping us build a positive future for plants, people and the planet.

To do this we rescue, rehabilitate and rehome animals in need, providing a safe place for animals of all shapes and sizes without a home. All animals that come to us are cared for by our team of dedicated volunteers who work to find them a new, forever home or rehabilitate them back to the wild. We believe that every animal has the right to live a healthy, happy life so never put a fit, healthy animal to sleep, and if they can't be found a permanent home then they will live the remainder of their lives with us at the rescue. We are committed to promoting good animal welfare and responsible pet ownership, working to improve the lives of the animals and people in our community. We work with local partners such as schools, businesses and communities and attend a variety of events to raise awareness of the needs of animals and the work that we do.

The Owls Trust
The Owls Trust, based at Bodafon Farm Park, Llandudno, is a small charity doing a big and important job. We have one of the most comprehensive collections of owls on display to the public in the UK. There are three main strands to our work. Firstly, we provide rescue and rehabilitation to injured birds of prey. We nurse the wild birds back to health and, when they are ready, we release them back into a suitable habitat. We are often asked to step in to rescue “pet” owls. These birds are frequently distressed and in poor condition. When we can we give them a permanent home with us where they can regain a good quality of life in more spacious and appropriate surroundings suitable to their specie. Our second activity is to educate young people and older groups about our birds of prey, their place in our environment and how we can maintain their habitats to protect the bio-diversity of our countryside. Finally, we work with international partners to create and maintain breeding stocks of the world’s rarest owls. When imperiled habitats can be restored and protected, we will then be able to enhance threatened populations or even reintroduce new groups.
