Vision

In 2020 we launched an ambitious 10-year plan to secure the future for the Great Bustard in the UK.

We’ve created a roadmap that details our vision for the future and the milestones we will hit. Here’s our vision for the future:

2020 – Launch 0f 10-year plan

2021 – Significant expansion of fenced reserve area in Wiltshire

2022 – Recognition of the Great Bustard as a re-established native species in England

2023 – Land purchase for GBG visitor centre, headquarters, and core reserve

2024 – Improved legal protection and land management funding

2025 – First successful captive breeding programme in the UK

2028 – Undertake releases in other suitable geographic areas of England

2029 – International project extension

2030 – Ability to save and protect other critically endangered bustard species across the world

Our ambitious plans are made possible by the kind donations from individuals, organisations and partners.
