Welcome to Restore UK
Restore UK was established in 2001 as a grant-making charity to invest in the protection and restoration of Britain's natural habitat.
This vision has since expanded to incorporate environmental and bio-diversity issues globally.

Featured Project
Save our Squirrels
The Save our Squirrels project is the largest single species conservation initiative in the UK.
RestoreUK has provided funding to help control the number of grey squirrels threatening the red squirrel through competition for food and habitat and probably through transmission of the squirrelpox virus. Since the original grant, several new voluntary groups have formed in Northumbria as well as the `umbrella organisation` Northern Red Squirrels ( NRS ). Restore UK has therefore agreed additional funding to not only provide traps and equipment but also training workshops to help the planning and coordination of grey squirrel control in these new areas which now includes Cumbria.

Special Update
Animal welfare history is made in India
The very last dancing bear has now been removed from the streets of India and into the care of International Animal Rescue. Alan Knight, IAR’s chief executive, commented In all my years in animal welfare I have never been part of such a resounding success story.
Restore UK has supported IAR’s work to help provide the appropriate habitat for their bear sanctuary at Bannerghatta (near Bangalore, Southern India), and at Agra (near the Taj Mahal in Northern India), which can accomodate up to 200 rescued bears.
