WildlifeDirect is a Kenya and US registered charitable organization founded and chaired by African conservationist Dr Richard Leakey, who is credited with putting an end to the elephant slaughter in Kenya in the 1980s.
WildlifeDirect was established in 2006 to provide support to conservationists in Africa directly on the ground via the use of blogs, which enables anybody, anywhere to play a direct and interactive role in the survival of some of the world’s most precious species.
Word from Richard Leakey Chronic under-funding is the greatest challenge to wildlife conservation in developing countries where most of the world’s biodiversity resides, but where government funding for environment is understandably limited. In many African and developing countries elsewhere, wildlife and habitats are being destroyed at unprecedented rates.
WildlifeDirect’s mission is to connect conservationists in the frontline with those who care about wildlife worldwide. To enable them to interact and help each other, allowing anyone in the world to support the work of these conservationists. WildlifeDirect allows anyone to give any amount of money to support conservation of endangered wildlife in Africa, Asia and South America. Donors can track the impact of their donation in near real-time.
