The British Wildlife Wiki is brought to you by The WWC! We hope to showcase all of The UK's wildlife but we can't without your help. The WWC stands for The Woodlands Wildlife Council.

As summer is coming we thought it was time we launched some new projects, with the sucess of WildWords last year, we are launching Tracks & Signs in Jan 2011. Also the Distribution maps have been a sucess, although we haven't got many on article pages yet, but many more will be coming soon!
We have also got new members joining us soon who are great artists. They will be assisting us with creating images and diagrams for the upcoming projects!

Projects
At The British Wildlife Wiki, we are constantly trying to improve pages so why not check out a project! We plan to add as much information as we can about the natural world on The British Wildlife Wiki. To do this we sometimes create projects to help highlight the information as some of them are not direcly related to the UK or animals.
If you would like to help on a project, why not get in touch and get involved!
The Global Wildlife Wiki Alliance
We are now a member of The Global Wildlife Wiki Alliance.
We will be teaming up with other wikis to help secure more editors, more content and make the wikis better overall.
The idea is that as there is only a few wildlife based wikis that we can help make our wikis last as most wikis get abandoned after a year or so, or if the founder/admins leave. We want to stop this and give our wikis longevity.
If you are a founder or admin at a wildlife based wiki, why not join the GWWA?
If you would like to join the alliance please contact TheWWC
