Aspinall Foundation

The Aspinall Foundation in conjunction with Howletts and Port Lympne Wild Animal Parks in Kent is devoted to saving rare and endangered animals and returning them to protected areas in the wild. These activities include the management of two gorilla rescue and rehabilitation projects in Congo and Gabon, Central Africa, where we have successfully reintroduced over fifty western lowland gorillas. Forty-three of these are wild-born gorillas, orphans of the bush meat trade.

Working together with The Aspinall Foundation your support will make a real difference to the future of the western lowland gorilla and other endangered animals whose future is in all our hands.

Trees for life

Trees for Life has been working for over 20 years to restore the Caledonian Forest to an area of 600 sq miles in the Scottish Highlands. The Caledonian Forest once covered 99% of north Scotland, now only 1% remains of this magnificent ecosystem.

We own a 10,000 acre estate and carry out conservation and forest restoration work on this and other sites throughout the Highlands. We’ve planted over 750,000 native trees so far, and helped restore over 11,250 acres of degraded land. Over 50 Conservation Volunteer Weeks are run each year, enabling hundreds of people to get involved in positive, inspiring action that really benefits the environment.

Every £5 you give though your payroll will enable us to plant a tree and care for it until it forms part of a self sustaining forest, providing habitat for endangered species such as the pine marten, black grouse and red squirrel for generations to come.

Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust

Wetlands are vital to ALL life on earth and are, literally, the lifeblood of our planet. WWT was established in 1946 by the naturalist and artist Sir Peter Scott (1909 – 1989). His lifelong aim was to conserve wetlands and their wildlife for future generations to enjoy. The impact of the decline of wetlands and its effects on wetland birds and other wildlife remains a major focus of WWT's work as it aims to

• Raise awareness of the importance of wetlands
• Promote action to save wetlands
• Reverse the trend of wetland loss
• Safeguard wetland biodiversity

Unfortunately, wetlands are threatened as never before because they are :-

• Reclaimed for building and agriculture
• Polluted and degraded
• The first casualty of human development

These threats grow year on year and time is running out. WWT is dependent on the generosity of individual donors and regular, pre-tax donations from your salary will help ensure the survival of wetlands for generations to come.

WWF-UK

WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. We do this by:

• conserving the world's biological diversity
• ensuring that the use of renewable resources is sustainable
• promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.

WWF is the world's largest independent global conservation organisation. We are best known for our programmes to protect endangered species and their habitats, and much of our work is in areas where the most critically endangered wildlife and the least protected habitats are found. However, this is only part of what we do.

We also work to address global threats such as climate change, the consumption of natural resources and the use of toxic chemicals. We influence attitudes and behaviour through lobbying, campaigning and education, and work with people at all levels - both in the UK and around the world - to seek long-term sustainable solutions for the benefit of people and nature.

How your contribution can help us:

• £10 could pay a Rhino Protection Unit Ranger's salary for 4 days.
• £15 could enable the orang-utan project in Malaysia to buy a Global Positioning System, so that the exact location of orang-utan nests can be recorded.
• £20 could pay the wages of an educational assistant teaching Colombian rainforest children about the environment.
• £30 could buy a camera to help monitor the movements of tigers in Nepal.
• £72 could help protect the greater one-horned rhino by covering the costs of supplying park rangers with an elephant to carry out anti-poaching patrols in Nepal.
• £100 could buy a medical kit for staff in Dudwha National park in India.
• £240 (or £20 a month) could pay one Ranger's salary for a year for the International Gorilla Conservation Programme in Rwanda.
