Link currently has 83 members who collectively employ 9,600 full-time staff, have the help of 174,000 volunteers and the support of over 8 million people in the UK.
Link's members are united by their common interest in the conservation of the natural environment and together are responsible for the direct protection of over 750,000 hectares of land and 800 miles of coastline.
By bringing members together on policy areas of interest to them, it provides a forum to develop a collective view on national and international issues affecting nature.
As a coalition organisation, Link works with its members to develop and advocate proposals for improvements in law and policy for the benefit of wildlife and our environment.
For example, in a 2024 report submitted to MPs in an all-party parliamentary group (APPG) for Race and Community, Link made the claim that the British countryside has been influenced by "racist colonial legacies" which have created an environment some fear is "dominated by white people".
