The Environmental Funders Network (EFN)’s vision is an effective, flourishing ecosystem of environmental philanthropy that is supporting people and the planet to thrive together. Our mission is to cultivate knowledge and relationships that enable environmental philanthropy to step up its impact in response to the climate and nature emergency.

In this episode, philanthropist Hugh Raven, Alison Lomax (Hebridean Whale & Dolphin Trust), Dan Renton (Seawilding), Kerri Whiteside (Fauna & Flora International) and Phil Taylor (Open Seas) reveal what most excites them about marine conservation in Scottish waters, their experiences of what local communities and projects have achieved (often with relatively small sums of money) and lessons they’re learning that could work elsewhere.
