These are medals made for the Natwest Bank as part of a promotional scheme. It involved a tie-in with the Worldwide Fund for Nature. There had earlier been a similar program with a "piggy bank" element for children account-holders.
There is little value to the actual medals. Because yours are still wrapped, they will have moderately higher appeal to collectors - and your 1989 medal may even be something of a ririty - the medals are better associated with the early 1990's.
Consult a local coin dealer for an estimate, and spend a little time researching your pieces on the Internet. Local coin collectors' clubs are a good place to get more information if you are that interested. You can also write Natwest and they will be glad to give you a complete background about the program in which these medals were used.
Check this out in the meantime:
