About Conservation Without Borders
Conservation Without Borders is a UK charity that follows migratory species across the world on epic human-powered expeditions, turning the journey into a catalyst for climate and conservation action.
Migratory animals are among the most threatened on the planet, and their journeys ignore the borders we draw on maps. The threats they face, from habitat loss to a warming climate, are connected across continents, which means the response has to be connected too. The crises of biodiversity collapse and climate change cannot be solved in isolation.
Founded in 2019 by conservationist and adventurer Sacha Dench, the charity works as a force multiplier rather than going it alone. It plans expeditions that retrace migration routes, often under human or low-emission power, and uses the drama of those journeys to spotlight the people, problems and solutions found along the way.
Expeditions including Flight of the Swans, Flight of the Osprey and Flight of the Vultures have tracked birds across thousands of kilometres, documenting the dangers they meet and connecting local innovators with a wider audience. The aim is always the same: high-profile storytelling that leads to real action on the ground.
By bringing together communities, businesses and decision-makers around a shared story, the charity helps shift how people think and act. Support keeps these expeditions in motion and amplifies the conservationists working to keep migratory species, and the routes they travel, alive.
