You’re helping create safe havens for wildlife. 

This Christmas, wildlife has a chance to thrive - because of you. 

Your gifts are helping to maintain safe havens across hundreds of acres of precious wildlife reserves. You’re giving animals - from majestic red deer to the tiniest creatures underfoot - a place to live, to roam, and to recover. 

These protected spaces offer sanctuary from threats like stag hunts and fox hunts that still - despite the ban – lead to the killing of animals using dogs. Your compassion stands in contrast to these brutal traditions, offering safety and freedom to wildlife that would otherwise be hunted. 

You’re not only protecting land - you’re connecting it. By enabling partnerships with landowners, you’re helping to build wildlife corridors so animals can move safely across wider landscapes. 

Your support has helped restore habitats in North Devon, through the League’s partnership with the National Trust. In Mid Devon, your backing of local partnerships has made space for species like the beaver - gone from our countryside for centuries - to return and flourish once again. 

With your generous gifts you’re not just supporting a much-needed wildlife refuge - you’re shaping a future where nature can thrive. 

Your connection to land reform 

Your support is helping drive a powerful campaign to reform the way vast areas of Scotland’s countryside are used - and to put wildlife, the environment, and local communities first. 

Today, large swathes of moorland are owned by just a few hundred landowners. These estates see mass trapping of wildlife and the ruthless killing of birds of prey - all to clear the way for hundreds of thousands of grouse to be shot for so-called sport. 

But you’re helping to challenge that. 

As part of the Revive coalition, League supporters like you helped bring together hundreds of campaigners, conservationists and politicians in Perth for a major conference calling for moorland reform.  

Couldn’t make it to the conference but want your voice to be heard? It’s not too late. You can shape the future of Scotland’s countryside and wildlife by taking action here

You’re putting wildlife crime in the spotlight 

Thanks to your support, more people in power are being forced to face the truth about wildlife crime in the UK. 

You’re helping to shine a light on animal abuse. With your support, the League contributed a powerful chapter to the Wildlife Crime Report published by Wildlife and Countryside Link.  

This national report — built on evidence from police and animal welfare charities — was delivered directly to MPs and peers in Parliament, laying bare the shocking scale of illegal hunting. 

This progress would not be possible without you. Your voice, your values and your support are all helping to turn the tide against those who harm animals for pleasure or profit.
