David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation focuses support on eight iconic species. Our adoptions of these species enable us to make a real difference to key projects on a long-term basis. Some of these species have been associated with us from the very beginning. Our founder, the wildlife artist David Shepherd CBE, was known as the ‘man who loved giants’, as elephants were one of his favourite subjects to paint. Others, like the pangolin, have come under our spotlight more recently for the wrong reason – being dangerously close to extinction. Adopt today to help provide long term conservation for endangered species.
“Thank you very much for the beautiful Adoption Pack. I absolutely love how beautifully it is made, with all the information about the species as well as a personal (and a very touching) story of Ndewa that makes me feel really close to her. When I received the Adoption Pack yesterday, it totally made my day.”
“Our adopters have enabled us to support vital projects year-on-year. Together, we’ve seen Zambia’s first wild-born calf from an elephant raised by an orphanage take its first steps. We’ve celebrated a snow leopard super mum and raced alongside painted dogs, and seen a son replace a father in the ranks. These are animals our adopters have personally made a difference for, giving them the protection they need in their fragile and shrinking world.”
Georgina Lamb, CEO, David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation.
