Wader Quest has two aims.
1) To raise awareness about the challenges waders face in the modern world.
2) To raise funds to support wader conservation projects worldwide, especially those involving locally led, community projects.
Supporting Wader Quest as a Friend or Sponsor, by simple donation or purchasing our merchandising means your money will be used to help find a place for the world’s waders now and in the future.

We support Community Wader Conservation where local groups and communities, mostly volunteers, work to protect their local wader populations whether they are breeding, passage or non-breeding populations. We think of this as the conservation arm of ‘citizen science’ and believe it to be equally, if not more, important. We also believe that the cumulative effect of these small conservation projects is significant and it gives concerned people a real sense that they are able to become involved and that they are making a tangible difference in their own back yard to tackle an acute global ecological crisis.

We also assist with small research projects that struggle to find other funding by purchase of equipment and tools, particularly if they can show some sort of community involvement.
