Vision and values


Our vision

The Devon Wildlife Trust has a vision of a Devon in which

•    Wildlife is plentiful, varied and widespread
•    The future of wildlife is secure
•    The benefits of wildlife are valued and enjoyed


Our values


The Devon Wildlife Trust believes that

•    Wildlife is life and that, without it around us in abundance, human life is at risk
•    Globally, the continued decline in the biodiversity of the planet is approaching critical proportions
•    Wildlife is the tangible evidence of the health of natural systems on which all life, including human, depends
•    Responsibility for those natural systems lies with those who exploit them
•    The county of Devon has a global responsibility to maintain its local contribution to biodiversity and protect the health of its natural systems
•    The social and economic wellbeing of the County is dependent on its natural assets, which are in decline
•    The health and wellbeing of humans depends on the natural world
•    Wildlife is infinitely fascinating and rewarding

Our vision, values and objectives are covered in more detail in our Manifesto.
