About our offices Strategic Plan Directions Staff List

UNEP-WCMCUNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre is situated just 2 miles outside central Cambridge. Directions to the Centre are available here. The current Centre building, officially opened in 1993, was specially designed to fit in with its rural surroundings and constructed mainly from reclaimed materials - receiving the Green Award for Office of the Year in 1995.

The centre and its staff are developing and implementing policies to decrease the environental impact to the centre's facilities and operations. This includes encoraging its staff to cycle to work

The site is close to the location of a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and has an ancient hedgerow, which features a purpose-built wildlife pond that attracts much wildlife such as dragonflies, frogs, moorhens and many other bird species. A number of staff keep lists of flora and fauna seen on the site.
