It’s a new year, and what better way to kick it off than by looking back on some of the biggest conservation wins we’ve achieved in the last quarter-century? From making “runways” for the UK’s largest bird to re-wiggling rivers, conservationists have come up with all sorts of ways to give nature a helping hand.

“Since the start of this century, we’ve delivered some of the biggest wins for nature,” said RSPB Chief Executive Beccy Speight in a release emailed to IFLScience. “None of this would have happened without the passion and commitment of our members, volunteers and supporters. Nature still faces huge challenges, but we remain determined to find and champion solutions that give hope - for wildlife, wild places and people – for generations to come.”
