The PRESSING NEED

It is challenging enough for both government- and privately-managed protected areas to maintain the required resources to adequately steward their land and wildlife. Unfortunately, the nature of wildlife emergencies are unpredictable and can be very expensive to resolve, often requiring seasoned expertise. It is exactly during such times that wildlife are most at risk. This is where the WEF comes in: a reliable, adept, self-funded response service for protected areas to call upon in times of need. Our conviction is that conservation is both a public interest, and responsibility. We therefore view conservation as a whole, and endeavour to assist with any wildlife emergency, irrespective of who owns or manages the wildlife. With no such service currently available in the conservation sector, wildlife is paying a heavy price, and an organisation such as the WEF is needed now more than ever.  

Guardians of Wildlife

Our Critical Work

At the Wildlife Emergency Fund, we are dedicated to rescuing and conserving wildlife in distress. Our efforts span several crucial areas, including emergency response to natural disasters, poaching, and park breakouts. We focus on maintaining strong genetics and responsible animal relocation through our conservation efforts. Our team of veterinarians and caretakers rehabilitates injured animals for their return to the wild. We also engage with local communities to promote sustainable practices and raise awareness about wildlife conservation. Through research and advocacy, we strive to influence policies that benefit wildlife and their habitats.
