ARC is a member of Wildlife and Countryside Link (www.wcl.org.uk) a coalition of 54 environmental and wildlife organisations, coming together as a united voice for nature in England. Collectively, the partnership is backed by more than 8 million people in the UK, with the organisations also safeguarding over 750,000 hectares of land. ARC is also a member of the sister organisations Wales Environment Link (www.waleslink.org) and Scottish Environment Link (www.scotlink.org).

Through our work with the Link organisations we collaborate on a broad range of policy issues. Sharing knowledge and experience with Link and other Link members helps ARC make a difference to the way that conservation operates. Through the Link organisations we respond to consultations, campaign on areas of shared interest, and communicate strong messages to government, policy makers and others.
