The British Association of Nature Conservationists (BANC) is an independent organisation which takes a critical look at the world of nature conservation. They analyse what's going on, debate the values behind conservation policies and legislation, and we put new ideas on the agenda. They are not a corporate body: they are a network of conservation practitioners, academics and interested individuals.

The British Ecological Society is a learned society and a registered charity. Established in 1913 by academics to promote and foster the study of ecology in its widest sense, the Society currently has around 4,500 members spread around the world. The core activities are the publication of results of research in ecology, the development of scientific meetings and the promotion of ecological awareness through education at all levels.
