National Federation of Badger Groups

2024-06-16

Badger conservation and welfare are the primary goals of the Badger Trust (the new name for the National Federation of Badger Groups, NFBG). Badgers (Meles meles) face a wide range of threats including badger digging, badger baiting and other forms of persecution; road casualties; habitat destruction; and a badger cull carried out because badgers are blamed for infecting cattle with bovine TB.

The NFBG promotes the conservation, welfare and protection of badgers, their setts and habitats. It represents and supports 80 local voluntary badger groups throughout Britain, provides expert advice on all badger issues and works closely with the police, and other organisations.
