Where We Work
Through our White Papers, Animals on the Edge proposes global conservation plans that involve benefitting socially and economically communities that have to co-exist with wildlife, encouraging these communities to become stewards of the land and protectors of the animals that depend upon it - saving wildlife by helping people. Listed below are the projects that we are currently involved with, that have come about due to the fieldwork and research we have so-far conducted.
While many of these projects are operated in partnership and are long-term commitments, we also accept that there is sometimes a need for more immediate and decisive action. When this is the case, Animals on the Edge will step in to provide emergency funding to save the lives of animals that are affected by damaging human socio-economic conditions, as well as working towards securing habitat that will provide a home-for-life for endangered species.
Santa Clara river project
Through the presentation of photographic portfolios, as evidence against further development of the river, we aim to save the Santa Clara river, southern California’s last wild river, from extinction.
India: Chilli pepper project
The aim of the project is to minimise the impact on forest habitat and wildlife caused by farming communities living at the edge of the buffer zone with Kanha National Park.
Borneo: Habitat conservation
The aim of the project is to conserve an area of old-growth rainforest bordering the Kinabatangan River that is habitat to orangutans and other endangered species.
Zimbabwe: Lion rescue
The aim of the project is to save the lives of 74 lions that are part of a unique lion conservation initiative, currently threatened by the economic and political situation in Zimbabwe.
Slovakia: Reducing human/carnivore conflict
The aim of the project is to reduce the occurrence of retributive killing of carnivores - primarily bears, wolves and lynx - in and around the Tatra Mountains, Slovakia.
India: Creating new tiger habitat
The project’s aim is to create a network of water sources within Kanha NP, encouraging deer into an area of the Park currently unsuited to tigers due to a lack of prey.
