The organisations work together to collect data on biodiversity. Using this knowledge, they train individuals, communities and businesses to exist in the most positive way for the environment, whilst also flourishing financially. In , Jane Goodall ventured into the forests of Africa to be able to see wild animals living without human disturbance. This decision led to the foundation of the Jane Goodall Foundation, and paved the way for some of the most illuminating research into chimpanzees that has ever been conducted.
The research continues to this day, focusing on the state of the forest and the chimpanzee populations. This research is then shared with governments and other protection agencies to create policy to preserve animals. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is one of the most successful orphaned elephant rescue and rehabilitation projects in the world.
The organisation was founded in by Dr Dame Daphne Sheldrick in memory of her late husband, the famous naturalist David Sheldrick. The organisation focuses on anti-poaching and conservation, as well rescuing and hand rearing elephant and rhino orphans. To date, the foundation has successfully hand-raised over baby elephants and has successfully reintegrated them to the wild.
Of all of our top 17 organisations that help endangered animals, the WWF is probably the best known. Its mission is to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to biodiversity.
The scope of their work is huge, covering oceans, forests, wildlife, fresh water, climate and food. They support some of the most endangered animals today — giant pandas, tigers, elephants, gorillas, sea turtles, polar bears, rhinos and whales. The Gorilla Doctors is a charity dedicated to conserving wild mountain and eastern lowland gorillas. They do this through life-saving veterinary medicine. It is the only charity which provides these critically endangered animals with direct, hands-on care in the wild.
With only mountain gorillas left in the world, the work that Gorilla Doctors do is essential. The team performs monthly visits to every habituated mountain gorilla group to perform a visual health check — careful notes are taken so that they can fully map the health of the individuals. Additionally, Gorilla Doctors has helped to hand-rear baby gorillas whose mothers were killed by humans. This is complex work, and key for the survival of this dwindling species. Save the Elephants works to secure a brighter future for elephants.
This involves conservation work to maintain their natural habitats as well as educational work to promote understanding. Approximately 30, elephants are killed for their ivory each year in Africa. Without urgent action to save the elephants, they could disappear from the wild within a single generation.
The charity works tirelessly to conduct vital research on elephant behaviour, using the data collected to work with area managers and communities so that people and elephants can live alongside each other sustainably. It does this primarily through conservation and research, focussing on the essential grassroots support and working within the community.
They understand that change must come from the heart, and they focus their efforts on making sure that local people understand the key issues at hand.
The Charles Darwin foundation is known primarily for its beautiful logo of a giant tortoise. The foundation goes so much deeper however, focusing on research within the Galapgos Islands, and working to keep this incredible micro-climate as natural as possible. Many of the animals that flourish in the Galapagos can only be found in this one place on Earth, and this fantastic charity is doing all that it can to maintain this delicate ecosystem for generations to come.
World Animal Protection is a hugely important charity for Oyster Worldwide. In they contributed towards the initial funding and expertise of the bear sanctuary in Romania , where our volunteers still help today.
Due to the fantastic success of the sanctuary, WAP is no longer so closely involved, but they have many other important animal welfare campaigns ongoing. An important focus for them is rescuing bears from bear bile farming, stopping bullfighting and preventing sea turtle farming. Four Paws focuses its attention on big cats, apes, horses, bears and domestic strays. It has done impressive work in disaster areas, where animals go through huge suffering.
They also campaign for stopping unethical practices such as the illegal puppy trade. Some at-risk species it's working to protect are gray wolves, American bison, Florida black bears, black-footed ferrets and the Canada lynx. Successes include helping to convince the Oregon Senate to pass a wolf co-existence bill in , getting a nighttime speed zone in Florida's Hendry County to help protect panthers, and helping to prevent the opening of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas exploration in The International Union for Conservation of Nature was the first global organization dedicated to environmental issues and conservation.
As of IUCN had more than 1, member organizations, of which more than of were government agencies. A species' position on the Red List shows its level of threats and determines conservation efforts. With a professional background in gardening, landscapes, pests and natural ecosystems, Jasey Kelly has been sharing her knowledge through writing since and has served as an expert writer in these fields. Kelly's background also includes childcare, and animal rescue and care.
