Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust

The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust was established by Sir Peter Scott in 1946. Sir Peter initiated the breeding of the nearly extinct Nene goose (approximately only 30 left in the wild at the time). Also, he was a founder in the idea that Bewick Swans had distinguishable bills, by chance, in 1979, after Peter had already established this concept, when the population was declining, they were able to conduct advanced research on these swans since they know understood the swans were individually identifiable based on bill coloration alone. Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust is primarily education. With 9 locations in the UK, they strive to education the public and allow the public to experience the joy of being with waterfowl, in order to create a deeper foundation with these waterfowl and want to conserve them into the future. They attempt to raise awareness about wetlands and wildlife, identify and solve threats to wetlands and the wildlife associated with the wetlands, and inspire people to explore as well as embrace conservation of wetlands and wildlife.
