Other than the obvious reasons for maintaining biodiversity and the balance of ecosystems, the conservation of animals is also our responsibility. Who else can ensure the future of these animals, and the natural world, other than humans?

What does AATG do to help conservation?
Firstly, we speak about it. We encourage and educate those we can by writing articles on the different conservation topics, and hope that this will have even the smallest impact to help save the animals who can’t speak for themselves.
Animals Around The Globe also have partnerships with companies and funds, the AMES Foundation and John Varty, who have all made an impact on the conservation of wildlife. We also have interesting conversations with anti-poachers, you can listen to on our podcast.

Some Conservation FAQs
Wildlife conservation is the action taken to prevent the extinction and depletion of wildlife and their habitats, to ensure these animals thrive in the wild. This also includes protecting, restoring, rehabilitation and creating opportunities and safe environments for these species to survive.
Wildlife conservation starts at home. You can live a sustainable lifestyle, educate yourself and those around you on the importance of wildlife biodiversity, you can donate or offer help to conservation programs, and you can help fight for the protection of animal species not yet protected by laws.
The most obvious benefit of wildlife conservation might be the protection of animal species against extinction for future generations to marvel at their existence. Another important benefit is protecting nature’s balance and biodiversity, by maintaining a healthy functioning ecosystem.
