I received an incredible birthday present, from my family, because they know how much this charity and their work matter to me.

The Aspinal Foundation believes that animals deserve, wherever possible, to live in their natural environments, free from persecution by humans – from hunting, trapping and loss of their habitat. For too long humans have threatened and destroyed the forests, plains and rivers that animals live in. We have a responsibility, a duty, to tackle this destruction and rebuild the population of the far too many endangered animals facing the threat of extinction.

The Aspinall Foundation creates and supports programmes to protect and reintroduce animals born in the UK or held in captivity abroad back to the wild. Our work is ground-breaking and we have delivered amazing results with few resources, carefully watching every penny we spend.

With the help of our incredible supporters, The Aspinall Foundation have reached a remarkable milestone with 1,500 animals rescued or rewilded around the world. These recent successes are just the latest in The Aspinall Foundation’s history of leading the way in conservation.
