The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) aims to reconnect people, particularly those in urban areas, to their natural environment and foster awareness of the link between environmental health and human wellbeing. We have found that developing environmentally responsible behaviour benefits our natural environment and biodiversity, and can also empower communities to address broader social and economic issues, such as food security and job creation. Education underpins effective conservation management through the development of responsible leaders and active citizens who recognise the need to play their part.

Through the Guardians of the Future Programme (GOTF) we work with educators to develop and implement interactive resources (curriculum ‘boosters’) on topics in Natural Science and Life Skills. The boosters are closely aligned to the curriculum and designed to engage learners and reinforce lessons previously presented in class. We also promote and facilitate the professional development of educators.
