2. ‘We know the time to act is now. Our descendants will not thank us for our passivity. Our environment is withering, biodiversity is diminishing and preventable human suffering is flourishing.

3. The primary objective of Wildlife Asia is the protection and enhancement of the natural habitat of orangutans, gibbons, Asian rhinos, bears and other Asian wildlife.

4. Wildlife Asia is a not for profit association raising funds in Australia to increase conservation contribution, capacity and efficiency for wildlife conservation. Wildlife Asia and its field programs are active, throughout South East Asia in: habitat protection (in particular tropical rainforest), wildlife conservation (in particular orangutan, rhino, bear and gibbon), and sustainable development for local communities. Wildlife Asia member organisations and field programs include: The Orangutan Project The Silvery Gibbon Project The Asian Rhino Project Free the Bears

5. Protection and enhancement of the natural habitat Compassion, Protection, Freedom Hear their call Awareness and support for the three species Protect, preserve and enrich the lives of bears

6. The Orangutan Project, founded in 1988 Australia’s longest running orangutan conservation organisation with representation in all states and territories. Over $4m raised for conservation projects in Sumatra and Borneo focussed on compassion, protection and freedom. ‘Orangutans in the wild could be extinct within ten years.’

7. The Silvery Gibbon Project, founded in 1990 Since 2002 the major focus for the Silvery Gibbon Project has been the Javan Gibbon Centre, a rehabilitation centre that receives ex-pet gibbons and aims to rehabilitate and ultimately release these gibbons back into the wild. ‘less than 2500 silvery gibbons remain, existing in fragmented areas of forest’

8. The Asian Rhino Project, founded in 2003 The only organisation solely dedicated to saving the Indian, Sumatran and Javan Rhinos. The Asian Rhino Project, a small organisation, contributes 38% of the International Rhino Foundation spend in Sumatra. ‘seriously endangered due to rampant poaching and habitat loss caused by human encroachment’

9. Free the Bears, founded in 1995 Active in Cambodia, India, Lao PDR, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia Free the Bears has a range of programs offering Environmental Education, Wild Bear Research, Veterinary Care Programme and Sanctuary Development. ‘despite the farming of bears for their bile being outlawed in 2006, more than 3,500 bears are thought to remain incarcerated in farms throughout Vietnam’

10. Strengths New organisation. Emotive cause and locations of high interest. Value for money, local practical conservation in the region.

16. Protection of Habitat Illegal logging and human encroachment are the main causes of loss of habitat for all wildlife. By working with governments and local communities Wildlife Asia helps to establish and enforce laws which protect specified areas of habitat and to educate communities on the importance of sustainable use of natural resources.

17. Rescue of animals in distress Wildlife Asia rescues animals from the illegal wildlife trade including those caught in traps or snares and those being transported for slaughter or the exotic pet trade. Wildlife sanctuaries are available where proper food and medical attention is provided for those animals that cannot be released into the wild.

18. Development of alternative income opportunities Local communities are by necessity a vital component of forest and wildlife preservation. People living near protected habitat are only able to refrain from poaching or illegal logging if there are other methods to provide for their families. Wildlife Asia establishes small enterprises to support such communities. Examples include mushroom farming, taxi service, small scale ecotourism and flower nurseries.

19. Education Wildlife Asia teaches children and their families about wildlife conservation, forestry laws and how to manage and protect the environment. This is accomplished through mobile learning centres that utilize films, interactive performances and classroom exercises including the opportunity to interact with wildlife. Wildlife Asia also provides training and school supplies to teachers and have established learning centres at wildlife sanctuaries around the region.

41. ‘The worst thing that can happen is not energy depletion, economic collapse, limited nuclear war, or conquest...as terrible as these catastrophes would be for us, they can be repaired within a few generations. The ongoing process that will take millions of years to correct is the loss of genetic species diversity and destruction of natural habitats. This is the folly our descendants are least likely to forgive us.’ E O Wilson, Professor, Harvard University. © Wildlife Asia, 2012
