We have always been committed to putting our money where our mouth is, and our support of animal and environmental charities is something we take seriously
We donate to Born Free, the WWF and most recently we have become a member of the London Wildlife Trust
London Wildlife Trust:
“London Wildlife Trust manages over forty nature reserve sites across the capital that are exemplars of urban conservation land management and which engage the local communities that use the sites.
The Trust delivers projects focusing on protecting priority habitats and species in London and works to influence policy makers.
The Trust engages London’s diverse communities through access to (its) nature reserves, volunteering programmes and education and outreach work.”
Born Free:
Emily Kate the Elephant
Emily Kate is a young Elephant, born in August 2000, in the 400sq km Amboseli Park in Kenya, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Born to her mother Echo, this herd has been made famous by the popular BBC TV Series ‘Echo of the Elephants’.
She was named by Actor and Born Free patron, Martin Clunes, after his own little daughter.
Sadly elephants face many threats, both in the wild from ivory poachers and habitat destruction; and in captivity from neglect, abuse and frustration, and our adoption is helping to provide the protection Emily Kate and her family need
WWF:
Hawksbill Turtles of Yadua Taba
The adopted hawksbill turtles live in the waters around Fiji.
- Accidental capture (bycatch) in fishing lines and nets,
- hunting and poaching for their shells, meat and eggs;
- tourism and litter disturbing and polluting their nesting beaches and feeding grounds;
- A rise in global temperatures due to climate change
Five nesting females have been identified who return each year to Talice beach, on the uninhabited island of Yadua Taba. Flipper tags are used to track and record the turtles’ locations, to help us find out more about their movement patterns. Donations go towards providing equipment helping to police the Marine Protected Areas
