WSPA - Help stop stray dogs being slaughtered like vermin.In some countries, dog control officers randomly shoot animals in the
crowded city streets. If not killed instantly, they’re thrown into a
truck and left slowly to die. Around the world, there’s an estimated
400 million stray dogs which represents an animal welfare crisis on a
huge scale.
War, famine, poor sanitation and poverty all combine to create a huge
global crisis. WSPA has a holistic approach to reducing the numbers of
stray dogs by providing practical solutions to help prevent
uncontrolled breeding. Their mobile clinics, supplied with necessary
equipment and medical supplies, enables vets to visit rural communities
where proper care for dogs would not otherwise be available. And over
the long term WSPA is educating people about responsible pet ownership,
sterilising and caring for their animals.
Please help save stray dogs and other animals from cruelty today.
WSPA - Help stop the gruesome sport of bear baiting.
A terrified and traumatised bear is dragged into a ring by a rope that has been crudely
forced through her highly sensitive muzzle with a needle. Filled with fear, she knows what
is about to happen to her but, tied to a post in the ground, all she can do is struggle and cry
out in pain.
Suddenly a pair of dogs are set upon her, attacking her face and snout. Desperate to stop
the pain she opens her mouth to bite and swipes at the dogs with her paws, all in vain. Her
teeth have been removed and claws blunted – so her attempts to defend herself are
useless.
The dogs too are often injured in the fights as the desperate bears struggle to defend
themselves. It’s a fight that no animal can win.
Please help save bears and other animals from cruelty.

LivClean (Ca) is a residential Carbon Neutral
Program. Voluntary offsetting is a hot new industry with everyone from
rockstars to colleges offsetting their emissions. Now with LivClean
anyone can calculate the emissions they create when they heat and light
their homes, drive, fly or do business. By puchasing a LivClean Carbon
Neutral program or a carbon gift card the environmental side effects of
an individual's energy use is offset or neutralized by an corresponding

Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland - Click here
We are the oldest, largest and most respected wildlife-focused
conservation group in the State of Queensland. Founded in 1962 by
Judith Wright, Brian Clouston, David Fleay and Kathleen MacArthur, the
Society is a community-based, non-profit organisation consisting of 24
branches throughout the State, committed to an ecologically sustainable
future for people and wildlife.
WHAT WE DO…
Wildlife and its habitat
The Society practices a 'hands on' approach to conservation: tree
planting, fauna and flora surveys, radio tracking, restoring wildlife
habitats and protecting remnant rainforest. The Society supports
biologists and other researchers in studying threatened species such as
bilbies, fig parrots, false water rats and frogs. We also give advice
on how to attract wildlife to your backyard, and how to deal with
wildlife conflicts in your home or garden.
Wildlife and the community The Society consults with
local councils, business and representative groups. We provide
education for communities, organise field trips, surveys, social events
and species monitoring. The Society represents the community's
interests at local, state and national levels. We access, influence and
consult on statewide legislation, strategies and planning decisions, as
well as commenting on national wildlife permits.
Protecting the environment
Our campaigns cover diverse topics ranging from reduction in vegetation clearing, preserving and restoring endangered
mahogany glider and bilby habitats, to arresting the decline of dugong populations. We are also involved in campaigning
against dam proposals and sand and oil shale mining projects; and in promoting the environmental importance of national
and marine parks.
Preserve…
the flora and fauna of Australia by all lawful means.
Educate…
the community in an understanding of the principles of conservation and preservation of the natural environment.
Discourage…
by all legal means, the possible destruction, exploitation and
unnecessary development of any part of the natural environment.
Encourage…
rational land use and proper land planning of existing and future development, and the use of the natural environment
and its management.

- AWC sanctuaries protect at least:
- 250 ecosystems

The inaugural Steve Irwin Day, held on 15 November, was celebrated
around the globe and represented the many things that Steve was
passionate about - family, wildlife and fun.
The Wildlife Warrior team would like to particularly
thank everybody who participated in our Khaki Day and Backyard Campout
fundraising appeals that were held in conjunction with this special
event. Feedback from participants - like those from the University of
the Sunshine Coast (below) - has been very positive and we hope to
build on these initiatives next year.
All proceeds from Steve Irwin Day activities will be directed to our
current conservation projects (as detailed on this site), so that we
can ensure that the important work that Steve Irwin initiated can
continue.
The Center for Ecosystem Survival (CES) is dedicated to creating global partnerships to inspire broadbased participation in the preservation of biological diversity through ecosystem protection worldwide.
CES works in partnership with schools, universities, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, natural history museums, and science centers worldwide to protect wildlife and nature.
 The Sri Lanka Wildlife Conservation Society (SLWCS) is the first
organization established outside of Sri Lanka with the sole purpose to
conserve the dwindling biodiversity of Sri Lanka. After researching
Human Elephant Conflict in Sri Lanka, the SLWCS initiated its’ first
project in 1997 with the community-based initiative, Saving Elephants
by Helping People (SEHP). The SLWCS began exploring ways to resolve the
increasing threats associated with human-elephant conflict and its
relationship with poverty. Wildlife conservation is not a stand-alone
enterprise, but one best tackled simultaneously with community
participation in order to ensure long-term success and viability of
protecting wildlife.
We engage youth (especially at-risk and low-income kids and teens) in environmental stewardship projects
worldwide, including beach, river, and mountain trash cleanups,
wildlife habitat restoration, and native tree planting ( $500 scholarship for top project). Recognized by the U.S. EPA, Gov't. Leaders, and others ( Testimonials).

C4 is entirely run by volunteers
without any Government funding and C4's approach to conservation, which
has evolved over the past several years can be best described under the
following fundamental principles of:
KNOWING,
KEEPING AND SHARING OUR PLACE
KNOWING
OUR PLACE: includes the environment,
the people, the economy, the visitors, the impacts, the councils, the
politics, and the developers.
KEEPING
OUR PLACE: being concerned with
land use on both private and crown land, working with local government
and developers, attending council meetings, objecting to or supporting
proposals, collecting and recording cassowary sightings, placing cassowary
road signs, negotiating for and re-vegetating corridors on private and
crown land, maintaining the cassowary food plant nursery, plant outs on
private and crown land. SHARING
OUR PLACE: being
actively involved in tourism through our interpretive display and the
C4 development of an alternative marketing strategy for Mission Beach,
promoting our natural environment. History
of C4
