Welcome to the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation
 

 

 
 

Without your help NOW there may be no future for black rhinos, African painted dogs, elephants, tigers or moon bears. By adopting one of these wonderful animals you will be helping us to fund projects which are saving species in the wild.

You can follow the life of your very own special animal by adopting either Phoenix, Dundi,
Beau, Lyuti or Three Spot.

African Elephant - PHOENIX
Phoenix spent the first traumatic week of her life beside her dead mother who had been slaughtered for her tusks by poachers. Against all odds Phoenix survived and was cared for around the clock at Zambia 's Munda Wanga Wildlife Sanctuary. From there she is beginning her return back from the wild. Phoenix is full of mischief and loves to play. By adopting her you will be helping to release her back into the wild.

Black Rhino - DUNDI
Over 98% of the world ’s black rhinos were slaughtered during the poaching wars of the 1970s and 1980s. South Africa is now home to the largest number surviving today. Dundi is the first daughter of Shibula, a black rhino rescued by DSWF from a European zoo and released back to the wild. Dundi now lives in South Africa's Mountain Zebra National Park and is an integral part of a successful breeding programme. Adopt Dundi and help us to protect rhinos and build her family a more secure future.

African Painted Dogs - THREE SPOT
The African painted dog once roamed throughout the whole of sub-Saharan Africa. Tragically they have been mercilessly persecuted and populations plummeted from 500,000 to fewer than 5,000 surviving today. Three Spot is a wonderful example of these highly sociable but much maligned dogs, living with his family in the Hwange region of Zimbabwe. By adopting Three Spot you will help us to buy anti-snare reflective collars, fund anti-poaching operations and education work.

Amur (formerly Siberian) Tiger - LYUTI
Lyuti
was found severely injured, deep in the Siberian forest. His mother had been killed by poachers. Unable to survive alone in the wild he was taken to the Utyos Rehabilitation Centre. Now fully recovered he lives in a protected area of natural forest where he will remain safely for the rest of his life. When you adopt Lyuti you will help us to fund vital anti-poaching operations and protect this region of the Russian Far East, where fewer than 500 of Lyuti's wild cousins survive.

Asiatic black bear (moon bear) - BEAU
In bear farms throughout China moon bears are incarcerated in rusty cages to produce bile for use in traditional Chinese medicine. In October 2000 Animals Asia Foundation rescued a bear called Beau and after surgery to repair her wounds and years of cruelty, she now lives free with over 150 adults, cubs and orphans in a natural forest sanctuary. Beau is beautiful and affectionate, with melting brown eyes which hold your gaze with complete trust, intelligence and forgiveness. By adopting her you will be helping to secure her future.
