The recent RACE Report 2025 reminded us that the environment and conservation professions are amongst the least diverse in the UK. 

The Report highlights the need for greater representation in charities and funders working on environmental and conservation issues.

When we consider that the UK average 17% Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic the figures below are a stark reminder that there is still a long way to go:

• Environment & conservation 4.7% - The Race Report 2025

• In the Animal Charity Sector 2% ethnic minority representation in senior/leadership roles - Green Park Survey

• Only 6% of foundation trustees are from ethnic minority backgrounds – ThirdSector Oct 2025
