Species we save

For more than 120 years, Fauna & Flora has been working with its partners around the world to protect threatened plant and animal species. Every year, our people work across hundreds of project sites, currently in well over 40 countries, to protect the species that are in most urgent need of our help.

From tiny geckos in the Caribbean, to five-tonne elephants in Africa, all species we protect – no matter how big or small – play an important role in their local ecosystems and contribute to the diversity of life on Earth. We are not just saving individual plants and animals; we are protecting their precious habitats and all the other species and humans that rely on these spaces.

Find out about some of the priority species we are currently working with.

Save Koh Kong's wildlife

The patrol teams stationed in the Cambodian wildlife haven of Koh Kong have issued an urgent plea.

Once Cambodia’s monsoon season ends, it will leave this sanctuary vulnerable. The rains, winds and lightning that currently deter poachers and illegal fishers will no longer restrict access, leaving this vital habitat exposed.
