CONNECTED CONSERVATION FOUNDATION 

Connected Conservation Foundation works to protect wildlife and ecosystems through technology, for the public benefit.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
