Wildlife Asia

The primary objective of Wildlife Asia is the protection and enhancement of the natural habitat of orangutans, gibbons, Asian rhinos, bears, tigers, elephants and other Asian wildlife.

As we move through the 21st Century, conservation of wildlife has become a flagship for change, as the destruction of rainforest becomes a major driver of global warming. Whilst talk of broad scale solutions dominate political agendas, we continue to see very little on ground action, or the necessary effective large scale activities from either governments or large well established Non-Government Organisations (NGO). Projects that genuinely support this required change are largely undertaken by small species specific NGOs, many of whom fight to protect small habitat areas critical to their species.

Protection of forest is critical to life and the current rate of destruction cannot be sustained. This is not only scientifically proven but to the average person is plainly apparent as the consequences of global warming devastate communities. We know it needs to stop and on a personal level most of us are prepared to start making those small changes. But will it be too little too late?

Wildlife Asia is a collaboration between grass roots but highly effective conservation organisations. These organisations have grown and developed as both lean and efficient, generating significant funding for species focused projects throughout South East Asia. Recognising the need to address the large scale conservation initiatives, it makes sense to pool resources and administrate under one banner. Wildlife Asia also provides the opportunity to present to donors a broader focused delivery and more appealing sponsorship and donation options.

Wildlife Asia is rapidly becoming a recognisable and trusted brand through the demonstration of genuine and successful projects that truly improve the state of our planet.

Welcome on board as we work together for a sustainable future!

Wildlife Asia and its field programs are active throughout Southeast Asia in:

• wildlife and habitat protection, through the operation of Wildlife Protection and Anti-poaching units as well as the purchase and designation of protected areas.

• wildlife conservation (in particular orangutans, rhinos, bears, gibbons, tigers and elephants) through rescue, rehabilitation and reintroduction programs and

• sustainable development for local communities including education and alternative livelihood development.

Wildlife Asia member organisations include:

• The Orangutan Project
• The Silvery Gibbon Project
• The Asian Rhino Project
• Free the Bears
• International Tiger Project
• International Elephant Project

Wildlife in Asia is reaching a crisis point. Due to habitat loss and poaching many species have their backs against the wall. This new holistic approach will give the Australian private, philanthropist and business communities the opportunity to contribute to broad reaching support for wildlife in Asia, backed by six of Australia’s premier conservation charities. Formed by four of the most efficient conservation charities within Australia, Wildlife Asia has created even more efficiencies through ‘shared services’, to ensure that even more of every dollar raised can go straight to the field.

There is no tomorrow for these species if we don’t act today. Bequests can help us increase anti-poaching efforts and secure land for the long term protection of magnificent species such as rhinos, orangutans, tigers, elephants, gibbons and bears.

Fewer than 75 Sumatran rhinos and 50 Javan rhinos remain due to poaching and habitat loss. Tigers continue to be poached for their skins, elephants for their ivory, bears for their bile and gibbons for the pet trade.

Over 1000 orangutans are slaughtered every year, victims of the greed-driven palm oil industry. Today’s frightening rate of forest destruction is leading us to a disaster of catastrophic proportions for wildlife, local communities and the health of the global environment.

Leave a legacy for your children and grandchildren and help us to turn the tide.
