Action for Conservation is a UK youth environmental action charity (no. 1157297) that inspires and empowers young people aged 12-24, from diverse backgrounds across the UK, to become the next generation of environmental leaders. To us, being an ‘environmentalist' doesn't just mean following a career as a field biologist or a campaigner. We believe that a passion for nature can flow through anyone's life, whatever their day-job. We inspire today's young people to a long-term belief in the wonder of the natural world, which will shape their dreams and actions however their life turns out.
