Wild Justice takes legal cases and advocates for a better deal for UK wildlife. Species can’t take legal cases in their own names, they can’t write to MPs and they can’t sign petitions, but, together, we can stand up for wildlife using the legal system and seeking changes to existing laws.
What Wild Justice is…
Wild Justice is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee. A not-for-profit company is one where the directors don’t benefit from the profits of the company and money raised is spent on the aims (called the ‘objects’) of the company.
The objects of Wild Justice are:
Nature conservation, primarily in UK.
Advocacy to make UK laws, policies and practices more wildlife-friendly.
Use of UK legal system to further nature conservation objectives.
Encourage public participation in nature conservation issues.
We decided not to set up a charity because that would limit some activities, eg campaigning against government policies, that we may want to carry out. We keep this decision under review.
