Wildlife Conservation & Endangered Species

 
  
 
 
Here's a list of wildlife conservation charities which we're adding to. The first thing that may strike you is that these are mostly for big animals - the popular and well known ones.  There are three reasons for this. Firstly, a lot of the smaller animals you're looking for maybe on our Countryside charities page.  Secondly, because if you can protect the habitat of the bigger animals, the smaller ones will be protected as well - protect the habitat of the elephant and all those animals in the elephant's path & space will have their habitat protected as well.  And thirdly, because we had to start somewhere...Let's call this page a work in progress & we hope meantime you'll find it helpful
