DSWF is a wildlife conservation charity working to protect endangered and vulnerable species across Africa and Asia.
Our mission stands on three pillars: fighting wildlife crime, protecting wildlife, and educating local communities.
This holistic approach to wildlife conservation enables us to implement strategies to protect species and ensure they are around for future generations.
Wildlife crime, an illegal $23 billion industry, has become one of the major drivers of species extinction in the last several decades. Find out more about what DSWF is doing to tackle these abhorrent issues.
DSWF focuses on eight key species that have a direct, positive impact on their natural environment and ecosystems. By building support and protection programmes around these iconic animals, we safeguard not just their future, but the futures of multiple species dependent on their presence and the world they live in.
By investing in economically and socially vulnerable communities at the heart of the conservation landscape, we support programmes that have real impact, on real people, in the places that matter most. Only by working together can we turn the tide on extinction.
Education is one of the key strategic pillars in our mission to fight, protect and engage on behalf of endangered species across the world. Delivering free assemblies, talks and workshops to schools, youth groups and children’s clubs for over 20 years.
Our aim is to educate the wildlife warriors of tomorrow…
empowering the next generation with the knowledge and passion needed to ensure a brighter future for vulnerable wildlife. By fostering a deep understanding of the importance of conservation, and a connection to wildlife we inspire young minds to take action and advocate for endangered species. Through engaging programmes, interactive learning, and hands-on experiences, we nurture a lifelong commitment to wildlife protection, cultivating a global community of dedicated conservationists ready to make a lasting impact.

There are 1.8 billion children and young people in the world today. Their impact on the local communities they live in is sometimes underestimated and under-utilised.
DSWF work with project partners to provide education programmes for children living alongside wildlife in Africa and Asia.
