Causes: Animals, Wildlife Preservation & Protection
Mission: Mission is to end the suffering of wild animals in captivity, rescue individual animals in need, protect wildlife — including highly endangered species — in their natural habitats, and encourage compassionate conservation globally.
Results: Hundreds of monkeys cared for daily at our primate sanctuary. More than 30 training workshops held for wildlife crime law enforcement in West and Central Africa. Nearly 800 live animals rescued from wildlife traffickers by customs officers who attended our trainings. Over 50,000 lbs in trafficked scales, fins, skins, bones, and tusks seized by customs officers who attended our trainings. Over 100 anti-Endangered Species Act riders blocked. More than 560 non-target trapping incidents documented. More than 2,900 Exotic Animal incidents documented. One dozen reports and investigations on critical wildlife issues published.
Target demographics: wildlife
Geographic areas served: Globally
Programs: Our vision is a co-existent future where humans no longer exploit wild animals. We work to ensure that all wild animals, whether living in captivity or in the wild, are treated with compassion and respect and are able to live their lives according to their needs. As a leading wildlife charity, we oppose the exploitation of wild animals in captivity and campaign to keep them where they belong – in the wild. We promote Compassionate Conservation to enhance the survival of threatened species in the wild and protect natural habitats while respecting the needs and safeguarding the welfare of individual animals. We seek to have a positive impact on animals in the wild and protect their ecosystems in perpetuity, for their own intrinsic value and for the critical roles they play within the natural world. We campaign to end wildlife crime, trapping, the fur trade, and the exploitation of wild animals in captivity. We also own and operate one of the largest monkey sanctuaries in the United States, home to hundreds of monkeys rescued from abusive situations.
