As a conservation charity, we work in nine countries, across four continents. We direct 14 field conservation projects with 31 local partner organisations to conserve and protect some of the world’s most threatened species. And we care for a number of threatened species at Bristol Zoo Project, contributing to coordinated breeding programmes and animal health and welfare research.
To reinforce our commitment to saving wildlife, we have pledged to protect and conserve 86 target species. As part of this we champion six flagship species, shining a spotlight on those lesser-known animals particularly in need of help.

We use the skills and expertise of our staff to make effective and targeted contributions to global species conservation. We focus on species and places where our actions are anticipated to be successful and impactful, and collaborate with local communities and other key stakeholders that share landscapes with our priority species, ensuring conservation of wildlife also benefits people.
