WILD PLANET TRUST TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCT08ER 2021 The Trustees submit their report and the audited financial slalements for Wild Planet Trust for the year ended 31 October 2021. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and have been prepared in accordance with Ihe requirements of Ihe Stalemenl of Recommended Practice on accounting and reporting for charities IFRS 1021 effective 1 St January 2019, including the additional content required for larger charities. The period covered by the report was one of unprecedented challenge brought about by the impacts of the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. This report therefore documenlg Ihe activities and perfomance of the charity within the context of an exceptionalty difficult backdrop. STRATEGIC AIM Wikl Planet Trust is an education, scientific and conservation charrty that lakes action to protect at-risk animals and plants from the impacts of biodiversity loss through activities designed to help halt species decline. CORE BELIEFS Three core beliefs underpin the charity's work.. Every species is special Everything is connected Every action matters PUBLIC BENEFIT In setting objectives and planning activities for Ihe year, the trustees have given Careful consideration lo ensuring that the charity's activities are to the public benefit, and they have had regard to the Charity. Accordingty, the activities at our sites during the last year were for the public benefit and were in accordance with the objects of the charity. They are.. To advance scientific knowledge of plants, animals and the natural wodd. To advance the education of students and the public on the conservation of the physical and natural world and the promotion of biodiversty. To promote the conservation of the physical and natural environment and the maintenance of biological diversity. In fulfilling its objectives, the charty brings its objectives and core beliefs to life through the START Programme. START has five components. providing long-term SAFE HAVENS at our sites for endangered species. taking the lead in promoting, building and supporting community and project partnerships to demonstrate how working TOGETHER le.g. through citizen science projecls and support for overseas programmesl can achieve impacts that contribute to halting species decline. taking ACTION that contributes to halting species decline through supporting sustainable habitats in the UK and overseas, where species may be protected and, when appropriate, into which they can be re- introduced. conducting and commissioning RESEARCH into biodiversity protection topics that relate to our core activity areas and animal wellbeing in order to ensure that we can advan the science-base for our programmes, promote improvements in animal welfare, and identify conservation challenges. using our plafform as a credible conservation organisation lo TELL people about why sustaining biodiversity is vital for us all, and the work that we do to help halt species decline, in order to influence public policy and individual actions.

WILD PLANET TRUST TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED} FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCT08ER 2021 SUMMARY OF MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS Contribution to Conservation Despite needing lo minimise our input to our conservation projects due lo Covid impacts, all of our conservation projects have survived and some have achieved significant progress. At Slapton, repairs and replacement of the boardwalk for public access to the reserve has been completed. The removal of an area of willow carr has also been achieved in line with the Management Plan. The social prescribing project did have reduced numbers due lo successive lockdowns, but has been deVeloped for the coming year. Our seagrass project saw the inslallation of three seagrass friendly ecMO0gS in Fishcombe Cove. These advanced mooring system buoys allow boats lo moor within the Cove without damaging the geagrass through deploying anchor chains. Despite having to take the slep to shut down the breeding of Devon white-clawed crayfish in 201912020 due to the immediate impact of Covid, we did continue to honour the grants we held for the identification of suitable ark sites for crayfish bred at Bristol Zoo. The first ark site went through a preparation process and, during the summer, the first captive bred crayfish were released. We are continuing lo support the project through the identification of further potential ark sites. In Tanzania, law enforcement patrols continued throughout the year in the Uzungwa Scarp Nature Forest Reserve with additional funds secured by our project partners allowing the rangers to spend two weeks on patrol out of every month. Preliminary data from camera trap surveys suggest that many species have stabilised between 2016 and 2020 in contrast lo the steep population declines detected beforehand. Our Sulawesi project completed a study showing a dramalic decline in bushmeat being sold in markets across northern Sulawesi. This was published in the joumal Animal Conservation. Unfortunately, the data cannot tell us how much of this decline can be attributed to our Selamatkan Yaki (Save the Macaques} programme as there may be other factors, such as the trade moving away from open markets. However, much progress was made with the illegal bushmeal reduction strategy with several markets making public declarations to no longer sell protected or endangered species. The team also launched the role model roadshow, empowering hunters who have vowed not lo hunt endangered species lo inspire others from nineteen villages. In addition, the education team undertook their fourth Yaki Pride Campaign culminating in the Yaki Youth Camp where ¢ompelilion winners from each of the schools visited to undergo training to be conservation ambassadors. The ranger team in the Omo Forest Reserve, Nigeria, grew to thirteen with the recruitment of two extra community scouts. The rangers continued to curtail illegal activities such as hunting and logging in the conservation zone, making over foty arrests during 2021. The rangers were also involved in the arrest of three suspects attempting lo sell a pair of elephant tusks. Project staff participated in the development of the National Elephant Alon Plan for Nigeria with the Omo Forest identified as a priorrty. A film about Omo was commissioned by the Elephant Protection Initiative to open an international webinar on forest elephant conservation. The Trust continued to financially support the Owston's Civet Programme Coordinator in Vietnam for our partners, Save Vietnam's Wildlife. Research was completed on civet coffee farms and the online pet trade in small carnivores, both potential threats lo Owston's civet and potential disease pathways from wildlife to humans. The coordinator also published a paper on the policy effectiveness of addressing COVID-19 impacts on wildlife conservation in Vietnam. The development of a dedicated conservation breeding centre in Vietnam has been delayed. In Zimbabwe, funding from the Wild Planet Trust, although reduced from previous levels, was critical lo the financi81 survival of Dambari Wildlife Trust. It underpinned their conservation efforts including operations lo tag and dehorn rhinos in Matobo National Park and monitor rhino populations using camera traps. Dambari Page 3
WILD PLANET TRUST TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED} FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCT08ER 2021 also continued their donor-funded work supporting local communities lo better manage their livestock and protect wetlands in the wider Matobo Hills. EduCatn 8nd Outreach The COVID pandemic had a significantly negative impact on the traditional approach to the delivery of education and outreach activities. Government requirements for lockdown and goci81 distancing, limitations of schools, abilities to organise external visits and our own capacity constraints consequent to the reslrucluring programme initiated in March 2020 meant that new and imaginative ways lo continue our work needed to be identified. COVID was a catatyst for change and we therefore pivoted to online education and outreach with a focus on structured lessons to support Key Stage curriculum requirements, support for home-schooling projects and informal education. We used social media, our own websiteg and YouTube as the delivery channels for these activities. The education resulls were positive and enabled us lo reach schools across the UK that would otherwise not have been able to engage with our programmes. Informal outreach through social media also saw a significant uptake in reach with an average of 20k views for our Facebook and Instagram posts. We will buikl on these insights to support our priorities for the next rep)rting period. FINANCIAL REVIEW Overview The impact of the COVlth19 pandemic once again dominated the reporting period, as it had in 2019120. As a result of COVID lockdowns, Paignlon Zoo and Newquay Zoos were closed for 125 days during 2020121, partially reopened in mid-April and relumed to normal, albeit with enhanced COVID measures in place, at the start of July. Trading was significantly stronger than originally anticipated with the company recording a profit of £1.3 million compared lo a forecasted deficit of £2.8 million {including the Living Coasts write down of £928kl in the 2019120 reporting year. Net Assets at year-end were £8 million, compared to £7.4 million in the previous year. Going Concern The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees feel that this is appropriate, as at the time of signing the accounts lockdown restrictions have been lifted, rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine in the UK has been going well and Paignlon and Newquay Zoos have reopened to strong visitor numbers. The zoo sites are predominantly outdoor allractions, which offer people a chance to reconnect with the natural world, and the growing awareness of conservalion issues positions Wild Planet Trust in a strong position. Tourism agency projections are that visitor numbers to the South Wesl in 2022 will be robust, and earty data points to a continuing positive situation in 2023. Nevertheless our business planning is based on cautious and conservative forecasts and budgets. The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan ICBILI obtained in 2020 effectively replaced the cash lost during COVID ck>sures. As part of ils reserves policy, the Charity holds £1 m cash in reseNe in case of trading difficulties. Despite the challenges faced in 2020121 the Charity continues to hold sufficient cash lo meet this requirement with £8m available at year-end. Page 4
WILD PLANET TRUST TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED} FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCT08ER 2021 The Charity has a lease on the Living Coasts site which is currentty empty following the closure in March 2020. The Trustees are monitoring the position with regard to this lease which has a peppercorn rent. We are actively seeking to dispose of Ihe site and, at presenl, the cosl of managing the sile in its current form is substantially less than the support that we have had to provide to cover the operating losses in recent years. In the short term therefore, WPT is in a better position than when the sile was in operation. In the circumstances and given Ihe resources available to the charity, the trustees consider that the going concern basis is appropriate. RISKS AND PRINCIPAL UNCERTAINTIES The major risks lo which the charity is exposed, as identTfied by the trustees, have been reviewed and systems and proeedureg have been established lo manage those risks. The review and monitoring process includes assessment of business risks and implementing appropriate risk management strategies, in particular through mitigation and insurance. Internal controls are aligned with Charity Commission requirements and guidelines. Business and operational risks are reviewed by the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee and fully discussed at full board management meetings. Annual business plans are developed for trustee approval. The business plans incorporale estimated visrf(or numbers and revenue as well as maintenance and development plans. Business plan progress is monitored by the Operations Committee. Risks are also mrtigated through a comprehensive insurance programme, which includes an annual review to ensure adequate cover, and the maintenance of business continuity plans. The principal risks currently identified include.. Human or animal epidemics which necessitate the long term Closure of the zoos wilh resuliing loss of revenue. Reduction in visitor numbers to the zoos caused by changes in perception of zoos generally, or Wild Planet Trust zoos in particular. The impacl of climate change on maintenance and additional expenditure for animal welfare. The principal uncertainties are.. The wider economic environment and the extent lo which visitor numbers will remain as robust as was the case in Ihis reporting period. The effect of National Living Wage increases given that they are unknown and impact in-year financial planning. PERFORMANCE PLANNING AND INDICATORS P18nning Annual business plan objectives are set within the context of Trustee-approved goals and priorities. The top- level goal and priorities inform departmenlal priorities which are then used as one of the performance- monitoring metric$. The 21-22 organisational planning and performance goal is.. To 8ccelerale the transfom7ation programme whilst n7ainlaining financial resilience in order lo lay the groundwork for a memorable and successful ntenary year in 2023. Page 5
WILD PLANET TRUST TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED} FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCT08ER 2021 The priorities are.. Improve the ability to take data-driven tin7ely decisions through prioritised implen7entation of the digital first programme in order lo sustain financial resilience through better inftirmed cosl-conlrol processes and maximum ROI revenue-generstion 8Ctivities. Develop an outcon7e-focused culture in order lo improve operational efflencIeS by encouraging the team to take ownership ofproblem-solving within a clearly communicated framewoth ofpriorities. Embed the Single Compelling Narrative ( helping halt species decline) through the phased implement8tion of the STAR Tprogramme in order lo re-position WPT as a national leader on biodiversity issues. The organisational top priority is lo= Tell our story better. The stated organisational goal and priorities drives the following baseline business plan aclivities.. Create bot8nic/anim8ls p8rily ofesleem. Deliver subsl8nli81 growth in education activities Prepare the plan for, and be ready to execute, Project 100 (the centenary celebrations). Design a new people strategy that improves talent developn7ent, conditions of service and SU$son planning. Performance Indicators Taking into account the unique challenges caused by the COVID pandemic and the principle uncertainties previousty described, performance targets have been set al the conservative end of the spectrum and are based on modest increases on 2020 actual performance. The principal KPIS for year ended 31 October 2021 are as follows..

WILD PLANET TRUST TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED} FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCT08ER 2021 Reserves It is the general policy of WPT and rts subsidiary charities to apply towards their charitsble objeclives as much cash as they reasonably can, to avoid accumulating excessive reserves. Where considered appropriate, and being mindful not to overcommit the Charity, borrowings may be used to fund elements of significant capital projects. In setting its reserves policy the Charity takes account of its continuing financial commrtments in terms of staffing and overheads, including the costs of maintaining the animal and plant collections and funding its charitable activities. Following the consequences of COVID for the organisation, the Trustees continue to review the reserves policy. Al the year-end however, the reserves policy was that WPT will maintain minimum cash reserves of £1 m available at all times. Such reserves would be sufficient for WPT and its subsidiary companies to operate without significant curtailment of their activities for a period of up to six weeks. Similarly, the trustees consider that unrestricted reseNes at the end of any financial year not exceeding 100D/o of the lolal resources expended during the year could propedy be regarded as both reasonable and juslified. At the year end, the VWT group held in excess of £8 million of cash including cash held to cover the annual trading cycle, the £1 m reserves discussed above and funds available for future developments. In order to guarantee that the business would have sufficient cash to operate as a going concern during the winter of 2020121, WPT drew down a £3,000,000 government backed Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan in August 2020. Repayments started in March 2021 and the loan is due to be repaid by August 2026. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT WPT is a registered charity (Number 3066221, governed by its Charity Commission Scheme ILT 306,622 AJ3 dated 3 September 19911- It is an unincorporated association run by a board of trustees.
