Our
Work
Intro
Throughout our history, whenever we have worked to protect animals, we have always strived to address the root causes of their suffering — and that starts with working directly with local communities to create sustainable solutions and lasting change.
Our approach goes beyond rescue and rehabilitation. We believe that to truly improve the lives of animals, we must protect their habitats and tackle the wider threats they face. That’s why we work alongside local communities, who are best placed to identify issues and drive meaningful solutions. Together, we develop grassroots projects with clear, measurable goals — forming joined-up strategies that reduce threats to wildlife and help humans and animals coexist in harmony.
In a world increasingly threatened by climate change,biodiversity loss, and the spread of disease, it’s never been clearer that the health of animals, people, and the environment are deeply connected. That’s why we take aholistic ‘One Health’ approach, recognising that protecting animals also means safeguarding the ecosystems we all depend on.
Our Approach
Our work focuses on three interconnected areas: protecting animals, supporting people, and restoring the environment. By addressing all three, we create lasting change — helping wildlife thrive, empowering local communities, and safeguarding the natural world we all depend on.
Animals
The protection and conservation of animals lies at the heart of all we do. Through rescue, rehabilitation, and release, we give suffering animals a second chance at life in the wild. Our work doesn’t stop there — we also monitor released animals to ensure their safety and wellbeing and protect the habitats they depend on. For those that can’t be released we provide lifelong sanctuary.
People
We believe that when communities thrive, wildlife thrives too. That’s why we work alongside local people to find lasting solutions to the challenges threatening animals and their habitats. By addressing issues like deforestation, human-wildlife conflict, and unsustainable livelihoods, we help reduce pressure on the environment while improving community wellbeing. Many of our initiatives focus on alternative livelihoods, education and empowering women.
Environment
The survival of wildlife depends on healthy, protected ecosystems. We collaborate with local communities on projects that restore and protect vital habitats, from reforestation and mangrove restoration to fire prevention and forest patrols. By supporting sustainable agriculture and conservation initiatives, we help safeguard biodiversity and fight climate change, ensuring a safer future for animals, people, and the planet.

What it takes to return an “exotic pet” to the wild
The Javan slow loris is a nighttime creature that, as its name implies, moves oh-so slowly. It lives in trees alone and is adorable, with sad, round black eyes in a furry black and white head. Though it lives in the rainforests of South and Southeast Asia, you won’t likely spot one there.
The simple steps towards climate action everyone can take
Becoming more environmentally aware, and making more ecologically-sound choices, doesn’t have to involve huge amounts of effort. From sustainability professionals to everyday people, here are some easy decisions to help us all sleep better at night.
