Only 15% of land and 7% of ocean are protected, and over 37,400 species are threatened with extinction according to the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List.

The scale of the challenges facing the planet at this current time are daunting, but it’s not too late to take action and make a difference.

We support immediate need frontline projects which focus on protecting threatened species and their habitats as well as helping to empower local communities.

Through our ‘Partnerships to Protect the Wild’ we have successfully helped to safeguard a range of endangered species and at -risk wild spaces in more than 20 different countries worldwide,  including the UK, from elephants and orangutans, to sea grass meadows and rainforests.

Join Us. Make a Stand Against Extinction.

"I'm pleased to support Explorers Against Extinction. Species extinction is such a vital issue."
