About Us
Care for the Wild is a charity based in Sussex dedicated to the protection of wildlife in the UK and abroad. We aim to Rescue, Protect and Defend wildlife through projects, adoptions, sanctuaries and campaigns.
Our key campaign areas are:
Stop the Killing: focussing on areas such as the poaching of elephants and rhino for their tusks/horns, and the killing of tigers and lions so their parts can be made into tonics. Our anti-poaching patrols in Kenya and India have achieved great success against the odds, and we also work on the legislative level, eg we were successful in promoting the protection of Slow Lorises at the CITES convention in 2007.
UK Wildlife: we fund sanctuaries across the UK which look after around 10,000 animals a year. We campaign on issues where we believe wildlife is at risk, such as fighting the Badger Cull in England, and supporting calls for a close-season for hares.
RIGHT-tourism: millions of animals around the world are used for tourism, whether it be through zoos or dolphinariums, on safari, for peformance or 'photo-props', as beasts of burden, for 'traditional' activities and so on. Our www.RIGHT-tourism.org website offers factual information on animal-tourism in every country in the world.
