Wild Spaces Supporters
Chessington World Of Adventures
At Chessington we love animals and we believe that it is vital that we do our part to protect the future of nature and its wildlife. We praise the work that the World Land Trust does to take direct action to save rainforest and other wildlife habitats by purchasing land and establishing permanent wildlife reserves. It is Chessington’s long term aim to help raise enough money to buy an area of land as large as Chessington World of Adventures Resort and to assist us in this goal we have set up the Chessington Conservation Fund.
Conservation Breeding Specialist Group
The Conservation Breeding Specialist Group is part of IUCN - the World Conservation Union - and their mission is to save threatened species by increasing the effectiveness of conservation efforts worldwide. They have over ten year's experience and nearly 1,000 voluntary members, bringing together people and knowledge to benefit conservation. CBSG is working with the World Land Trust to provide their members with the opportunity to offset carbon dioxide emissions associated with travelling to the 2011 CBSG Annual Meeting, as part of WLT's Carbon Balanced programme. In 2007, using a similar method, they supported reforestation projects in Ecuador.
Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens, Great Yarmouth
Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens is a progressive zoo with a focus on conservation and has supported the World Land Trust's Elephant Corridor Project in India with money raised through the Thrigby Conservation Fund. Most of the animals at Thrigby Hall are species found in Asia, including tigers, gibbons, otters and alligators, so they were keen to support conservation work in Asia.
Tropical World, Leeds
Tropical World in Leeds has worked with the World Land Trust to raise awareness of threats to habitats in the tropics, and in particular tropical forests. Tropical World has a wide range of tropical animals and plants, including golden lion tamarins, ring-tailed lemurs and macaws, and provides a fun environment for families to learn more about the tropical habitats and species that live there.
