Protecting wildlife and wild places

Pelorus Foundation is an independent charity that empowers individuals and local communities to protect the world’s wildlife and wild places for future generations.

The Foundation was created by a group of people who had travelled extensively around the world and witnessed first-hand the damage being caused to natural habitats, wildlife and the communities that depend on them.

What they saw created an undeniable sense of urgency: meaningful action could not wait.

Driven by determination and optimism

Although the challenges facing our planet are significant, Pelorus Foundation is driven by determination and optimism.

Across the world, we have seen extraordinary resilience from the people working to protect nature. From herding families in Northern Mongolia and storm-battered island communities to Field Rangers confronting wildlife crime in Africa, local people continue to defend the landscapes and species around them.

Their courage, knowledge and determination inspire everything we do.

Creating positive change

Pelorus Foundation acts as a catalyst for conservation by supporting innovation, strengthening local initiatives and helping give a voice to the people working on the front lines.

By supporting practical, locally led projects, we aim to challenge the status quo and help create lasting positive change for wildlife, habitats and communities.
