About our offices
 UNEP
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.
