1st Day of the Month - £1 Donation for Wildlife :)
Protect the Wild used its monthly £1 (≈ $1.27) donation drive to fund a series of high‑impact wildlife campaigns in April. A new animation about the Guga hunt amassed over 12 million views and helped the petition approach 160,000 signatures. The group also launched a 15‑second response tool that 20,000 supporters used to influence the government’s trail‑hunting consultation, and secured a Network Rail win to reopen nesting holes after 14,000 petition signatures. Overall, the £1 donation days generated £25,000 (≈ $31,750) in 2025, powering investigations, media appearances, and public‑policy wins.
