About Us
BRIDGING COMMERCE AND CONSERVATION
A decade of tech-enhanced wildlife engagement and impactful conservation.
WELCOME TO NATURESPY
We're a conservation social enterprise and your go-to wildlife watching tech hub.
NatureSpy is a business of two halves; a conservation research organisation and an online retail store. Our model is a cycle where commerce fuels conservation.
Our expert biologist-led team, with over a decade of field experience, is on a mission to provide the best wildlife watching tech that meets rigorous research demands and inspires outdoor adventures and connections with wildlife.
Our Ethical Foundation
In an industry geared towards hunting, we've pioneered using trail cameras for conservation; promoting non-intrusive wildlife watching, and from the start, our venture has thrived on sustainability.
All our tech is field-tested in the wild to meet our high standards for durability and performance. Every sale directly fuels our conservation objectives, reinforcing our commitment to making a positive impact.
FIELD TESTED EXCELLENCE
Our tech selection is curated for quality, not quantity. Each product we sell is field-tested by us, ensuring the the best for your research or nature explorations.
CONSERVATION & CONNECTION
Our work goes beyond selling tech; we run conservation projects & partner with organisations to amplify conservation. Our profits & expertise go to protecting wildlife & connecting people to nature.
SUSTAINABILITY
Our operations reflect our dedication to sustainability. From minimising plastic packaging in our own brand cameras to 100% certified organic apparel made using renewable energy & cruelty-free inks.
IMPACT
We believe in targeted impact to achieve real change & so focus on key areas. We amplify conservation by cultivating impactful partnerships & making our tech & expertise as accessible as possible.
OUR STORY: A DECADE OF DISCOVERY
From our inception in 2012, NatureSpy has been at the forefront of wildlife observation, using then-novel camera trap technology to connect people with nature. Our first camera traps looked a little different and a lot bigger back then...
In 2014 we incorporated as a social enterprise, underlining our dedication to environmental and societal goals. In the decade since we have hit major milestones including launching the first accredited camera trap course, initiating the Yorkshire Pine Marten Project, securing Heritage Lottery Fund grants, and forging key conservation partnerships.
Our online shop has grown into the leading wildlife tech supplier in Europe and in 2021, our hands-on field experience inspired us to create our own product line. Our journey has had a few twists and turns, as well as a few logo changes...
EVOLVING WITH TECHNOLOGY
The landscape of wildlife watching has transformed, and so have we. From demystifying camera traps to offering the very best in the field, our focus remains unwavering: providing the best kit for every need and budget. But our ethos extends beyond gear; we're pioneering a business model where every sale advances conservation, with all profits reinvested into research, conservation, and community engagement.
LIVING WILD
Our aim at NatureSpy is to equip you with the technology and knowledge for discreet, non-intrusive wildlife observation. Whether your focus is on a specific research goal or simply forging a deeper connection with nature, we strive to provide the tools and support to observe wildlife responsibly, ensuring minimal disturbance to nature. Our commitment is to help both people and animals live a wild life®.
“A decade ago, our vision for NatureSpy was to make camera trap technology accessible and inspire people to explore and appreciate their local green spaces. As the tech has evolved, so have we. Today, we are bridging commerce and conservation, demonstrating that thoughtful business practices can be a dynamic ally for wildlife protection. ”
