Wildwide Wildlife - Organisations, Associations and Groups
The David Shepard Wildlife Foundation is a small, highly effective wildlife conservation charity funding key conservation projects across Africa and Asia. Their mission is to increase awareness to people around the world about the need to protect and conserve wild animals and their habitats. They fund conservation projects across Africa and Asia that fight wildlife crime, protect natural areas and engage local communities in finding long-term, sustainable solutions to protect their native wildlife. They also campaign for stronger laws and protectionist policies for wildlife and fund investigations to expose the illegal trade in endangered species.
In 2016 Judith’s Sumatran Tiger was a finalist in the “Vanishing Fast” catagory of the David Shepard Wildlife Artist of the Year Exhibition. The exhibition was held at the Mall Gallery in London.
This fabulous group began life as a 52-week Nature Painting Challenege, founded by Kitty Harvill and her husband Christoph Hrdina.
The group has transitioned in to Artists and Biologists Unite for Nature (ABUN) which has a more specific mandate of focusing on projects that help and support conservation of endangered species and their respective natural habitats.
