We share an incredible world. We have a responsibility to protect these animals for our children, their children and the generations that follow.
Did you know?
- Humans are likely to cause the extinction of a half of all known species in the next 20 years
- Around 4 species become extinct every hour
- There are over 18,000 threatened species in the world
The Aspinall Foundation is the charity working with Howletts and Port Lympne Wild Animal Parks together we help provide a solution:
- We have successfully returned western lowland gorilla and black rhino, born at the wild animal parks in Kent, back into protected areas in the wild
- We protect 1 million acres of habitat in Congo and Gabon where the charity has reintroduced over 50 western lowland gorilla and celebrated 19 births
- There are less than 2,000 Javan gibbons in the wild. The Aspinall Foundation has built a new project in Indonesia to rescue, rehabilitate and reintroduce Javan primates such as the gibbon back into the forests of Java
- The greater bamboo lemur is native to Madagascar and is considered one of the most endangered species in the world. The charity is now protecting over 200 of these unique primates in our Madagascar Primate Project, and since we starting working here 21 births have been recorded
We can't do this alone:
- It costs £1,000,000 to manage our overseas projects in Africa, Java and Madagascar protecting critically endangered primates
- The Aspinall Foundation is independent of Howletts and Port Lympne and relies on the kind support of people just like you to fund the critical work we are doing overseas
