Conservation Fund
Guided by our values, we commit a portion of our profits to conservation projects worldwide, contributing over £400k so far to protect species, restore habitats and advance conservation science.
Here are some of the projects we’ve been able to support.
Eastern-Himalaya Ecological and Environmental Research Centre
The Eastern-Himalaya Ecological and Environmental Research Centre’s remote area project seeking to locate the sixth species of snub-nosed monkey – thought likely to be distributed in the Bilou Snow Mountains between the Salween river and the Mekong river of Yunan, China.
Kedestes Conservation Project
The Kedestes Conservation Project, based in South Africa, carries out in-situ conservation measures such as habitat restoration and protection via re-introduction to save two threatened butterflies from the brink of extinction – the Barber’s cape Flats Ranger (Kedestes barberae bunta) and the False Bay Unique Ranger (Kedestes lenis lenis).
Alliance for Tampotika Conservation
The Alliance for Tampotika Conservation (ALTO), Sulawesi, Indonesia, works to protect the endangered Maleo bird (Macroencephalon maleo) – the only member of the monotypic genus Macrocephalon. It is endemic to the island of Sulawesi and has a unique life history that combines two different types of habitats.
The Lost Species
The Lost Species’ community-based conservation efforts of the critically endangered Miss Waldron’s Red Colobus in the Ivory Coast. Our support has contributed to observational surveys in the dry season as well as purchasing camera trapping equipment. We hope that this will shed light on this elusive species, the first primate to be declared extinct in over 500 years.
The Rainforest Trust
The Rainforest Trust’s project connecting Nepal’s Rhododendron Forests aims to secure land that forms part of a corridor of core habitat for significant populations of 28 endangered and endemic Himalayan Rhododendrum species, in addition to iconic animals, such as the Red Panda and the Himalayan Musk Deer.
Ngogo Chimpanzee Project
The Ngogo Chimpanzee Project, Uganda, maintains a long-term scientific research station as well as extensive conservation work with anti-poaching teams in the area. The project is situated in the Kibale National Park, which contains the largest population of chimpanzees in Uganda and one of the largest in East Africa, making it one of the few remaining strongholds for chimpanzees in the wild.
Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire Wildlife Trust
We are proud supporters of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire Wildlife Trust, which manages 126 nature reserves in the local area – a fantastic local conservation organisation.
