The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust Ltd. is the UK's leading wetland conservation charity that protects, restores, and creates healthy wetlands. The non-profit company is based in Slimbridge, UK, and has subsidiaries in the United Kingdom. The British company works across various disciplines to solve conservation problems and bring people closer to nature. The company's expertise in restoring waterbird populations allowed them to reintroduce the extinct common crane. The company also works with local communities and governments to protect and restore Madagascar's wetlands, which have lost over 60% of their wetlands since 1960. The company was founded in 1946, and Martin Spray has been the CEO of the company since 2004.
