Wildlife and our last remaining wild places are being destroyed because of human action or inaction and because of our own short –term greed.

Sumatran rhinos are extinct - all except for in Indonesia. 80 of them are left there and the species urgently needs your voice. Poachers, habitat loss and their own low birth rate has reduced their numbers to such an extent that it will be nearly impossible for them to find a mate and breed, experts believe.
If the rhinos are to survive in Indonesia, the government there must make saving them a priority, and in so doing, they need to work with the Malaysian government.
The Indonesian government must make a public commitment to save the Sumatran Rhino and work with Malaysia to help save these wonderful animals.
Please sign the petition and tell Indonesian President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo and the Ministry of the Environment to take action now.
ZSL have established a project to help both people and wildlife on the edges of national parks in Nepal and Kenya.
Life is very difficult here. Elephants trample crops; tigers attack livestock. Families risk their lives as they enter the forest to gather firewood and graze their cattle. These activities damage wildlife habitats.
Unfortunately, some people become involved in wildlife crime, such as hunting bushmeat, to feed their families. Worse, they can be exploited by the international illegal wildlife trade.
For People For Wildlife
So ZSL are tackling the problem with a project to help people – and so help wildlife – with a project For People For Wildlife
ZSL are teaming up with communities to help them establish sustainable livelihoods. They will help with start-up costs e.g. training nature guides, fencing to safeguard crops, starting a salon – and also develop ways to live alongside wildlife peacefully.
The plan is that families will then have a reliable, sustainable income and escape poverty, and thus be better placed to help protect the forest and its wildlife, and indeed to help it survive and thrive.
The donations will help tackle various threats to people and wildlife. And they will help wildlife through science, education and conservation.
£1 really does = £2 if you donate by 31 December 2019! Donate here
You can help by making a donation - and for every £1 donated by 31 December 2019, the UK Government will MATCH your donation, up to £2 million.
There’s a match funder going on until 20 December for the African Wildlife Foundation. In other words, your gift will double if you donate by 20 December 2019.
This could be a great gift for anyone who loves elephants, lions, giraffes, rhinos etc.
The AWF protects nearly 40% of Africa’s elephants, and your gift can support their programmes to stop elephant poaching and ivory trafficking, for instance.
The need to help is more urgent than ever: if they haven't got enough threatening their survival through poachers and the demand for their skin and ivory, Africa's elephants are facing a devastating natural disaster. 200 elephants recently died due to a horrific drought in Zimbabwe. Giraffes, hippos, rhinos, and other species are at risk too.
AWF can continue providing incentives to locals to prevent hunting cheetahs whose numbers have declined by 90% - there are about 9,000 left compared to the 100,000 in 1901.
Lion populations once stood at over 100,000 but there are now less than 25,000 of them AWF protects large carnivores and the communities that live near them.
Chris Packham and a number of guest presenters are aiming to raise enough money to plant 100,000 across Britain. The amount they are looking to raise is £150,000.
You can donate in between items such reducing pollution around schools and the best trees to plant in a small garden. You can find out how you can do your bit – there are tips on planting trees at home. Every tree will make a difference.
The Woodland Trust and Channel 5 are aiming to raise this money and you can donate on the Woodland Trust’s website. John Humphrys, Clare Nasir, Martin Hughes Games and JB Gill join Chris Packham, together with experts from the Woodland Trust. Dame Judi Dench is also behind the partnership.
The documentary talks about the essential role that trees play in fighting climate change; and the programme looks at the science of trees, the impact of deforestation around the world (including in the UK) and how trees can help by locking up carbon, fighting flooding and making landscapes more resilient.
Lewis the koala, who was rescued by a very brave lady and taken to Port Macquerie Koala Hopsital, was sadly put to sleep.
When there was hope for Lewis.... Sadly he had to be put to sleep From The National
He'd been put under general anaesthetic to assess his burns and change his bandages and unfortunately, the burns were getting worse - as can happen - so the decision was made to put Ellenborough Lewis to sleep.
Rest in peace, Lewis, and all the other koalas who have perished in the wildfires.
Thinking of everyone at the koala hospital who worked so hard to help Lewis and are working to help koalas who have suffered in the bushfires. And of the lady who rescued Lewis.
Please make a donation if you can to the hospital - why not do it in memory of Lewis?
