Ensuring a brighter future for wildlife and coming generations is a priority that can’t be missed.
Restore Habitat UK is a dedicated non-profit organisation focused on the preservation and enhancement of wildlife habitats in the UK. With a passionate commitment to environmental conservation, our organisation specialises in restoring and rejuvenating ecosystems to provide sustainable homes for native flora and fauna.
About Us
We Aim To Prevent Further Damage To Our Vulnerable Ecosystem.
Here at Restore Habitat UK, we understand that our ecosystem is in tatters. 1 in 6 species in the UK are currently at threat of localised extinction without our help this is an ever growing reality.
- Restoring Natural Enviroments
- Creating Breeding Grounds
- Securing Land From Development
- Spreading Information On Conservation Threats
Our Causes
Help Us In Securing Natural Wildlife For Future Generations!
Biodiversity Conservation
- Protecting native species: Many species in the UK are threatened due to habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. Restoring habitats provides a lifeline for these species to thrive.
- Preventing extinction: By reintroducing native plants and animals, restored habitats help reverse the decline of vulnerable species, such as the red squirrel and certain bird species like Crossbills.
Climate Change Mitigation
- Carbon sequestration: Restored habitats like forests, wetlands, and peatlands act as carbon sinks, absorbing CO₂ and helping to combat climate change.
- Resilience: Healthy ecosystems are more resilient to the effects of climate change, such as extreme weather events.
Addressing Habitat Loss
- Primary threat: The UK has lost significant natural habitats due to agriculture, urban development, and deforestation. Restoring these areas provides vital spaces for wildlife to live, feed, and reproduce.
- Corridors for movement: Fragmented habitats isolate populations, reducing genetic diversity and resilience. Restored habitats create wildlife corridors, allowing species to move freely and access resources.
Providing Breeding Grounds
- Secure spaces: Many species need specific conditions for breeding, such as wetlands for amphibians or dense woodlands for certain bird species like Crossbills. Restoration recreates these critical habitats.
- Seasonal needs: Migratory species, like swifts and starlings, rely on restored habitats to rest and breed during their seasonal journeys.
Protection for Threatened Species
- Tailored conservation: Restoration efforts often focus on species-specific needs. For example, planting native trees benefits red squirrels, while restoring chalk grasslands supports rare butterflies like the Adonis blue.
- Reintroduction programs: Restored habitats can serve as safe havens for species reintroductions, such as beavers, which also play a role in further enhancing the environment.
Our Funfact
Without Your Help, We Can't Do This.
Restore Habitat UK, like any conservation organisation, relies on the active involvement of people to achieve its goals. Without public support, resources, and collaboration, its mission to restore habitats and protect wildlife faces significant challenges. Here’s why:
- Public donations: As a charity, Restore Habitat UK relies on donations from individuals, businesses, and grants. Without financial support from the public, it would struggle to fund essential projects such as land purchases, rewilding initiatives, and species breeding programmes.
- Community involvement: Local communities are often the custodians of nearby natural areas. Their active participation ensures restored habitats are maintained and protected for the long term.

Help Us
Your Donation Will Make A Difference.
Donating to Restore Habitat UK provides the essential support needed to carry out impactful conservation work. Every contribution helps to restore degraded land into thriving natural spaces, creating safe havens for wildlife and increasing biodiversity across the UK. Your support enables the planting of native trees and plants, which provide food and shelter for countless species, and helps revive ecosystems that have been damaged by urbanisation and industrial activity.
Sponsor A Birdbox Today
Through our sponsor a birdbox program, we are able to provide our song birds a home from predation allowing them to concentrate on breeding whilst also giving you updates on whether its been used and by what!
