A group or runners from Frack Free Ryedale want to support our largest local employer's charity 10k run. The charity is Circle Conservation. CIRCLE's mission is to use scientific evidence to guide biodiversity conservation, animal welfare and public understanding of the natural world.CIRCLE carries out ground-breaking research that will contribute to the conservation of wild animals and places. Biodiversity is declining across the world as a result of human activity, and research findings are often not considered in the various attempts to conserve our most precious animals and plants. We believe that conservation of biodiversity must consider both wildlife and people in order to succeed, and hence our research has a broad focus spread across our four research themes of biodiversity conservation, environmental education, animal welfare and the worldwide role of zoos.

The annual FlaminGO! 10K run aims to fundraise for the Udzungwa Forest Project, where they are working to protect the tropical forests in Tanzania.
