Aspinall Foundation

Their future is in all our hands…  By donating through Workplace Giving you will be making a lasting commitment that will help protect rare and endangered animals for years to come.

Many animal species throughout the world are becoming increasingly rare and endangered through loss of natural habitat and poaching. It is vital we all help to prevent these animals from becoming extinct.

John Aspinall started his famous animal collection in 1957 when he bought Howletts Wild Animal Park. In 1973 he bought Port Lympne Wild Animal Park to help house the growing groups of animals. Today the two parks are home to over 1000 animals and 90 different species. Now through The Aspinall Foundation we work to ensure that the late John Aspinall’s innovative work in protecting and breeding wild animals should continue. As well as the two wild animal parks in Kent, the charity manages two gorilla rescue and rehabilitation projects in Gabon and Congo, Central Africa, where we have successfully reintroduced over 50 gorillas. It is a sad fact that humans are likely to cause the extinction of a quarter of all known species in the next 20 years, unless we work to protect them now. If just one species disappears many others may suffer.

Imagine a world without animals? Please play your part in their protection
