THIN GREEN LINE FOUNDATION UK

The organisation advances the protection of the natural environment by supporting frontline conservation rangers to undertake protection of wildlife in their natural habitat. Without these rangers there is no wildlife protection or conservation of any species in these areas. The Thin Green Line Foundation UK (TGLF UK) will support Rangers in areas of high conservation value.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
