International wildlife conservation
ABOUT PRO WILDLIFE - Pro Wildlife is a non-profit organisation that works internationally to protect wildlife and its habitats with the aim to preserve biodiversity and to save animals. Thus, the survival of species in their habitat, but also the protection of the individual animal is of key importance. Pro Wildlife advocates for better laws and effective protection measures for wildlife. In various countries, the organisation supports aid projects for animals in need, helps to preserve habitats and works to ensure coexistence between people and wildlife.
ABOUT IWMC - Conservation is not about living in harmony with nature, it is about putting people first and managing natural resources responsibly for the benefit of humanity. Integrating Wildlife, Markets and Conservation believes that wildlife species should be conserved, ideally through integrating use and protection from the outset. Or at second best we should use protective measures designed to produce the abundance which will in time allow Wise Use. Our aims are to: Develop conservation measures that support the sustainable use of wildlife species on land and water. Ensure that conservation mechanisms and the wildlife trade protect and respect the livelihoods, lifestyles and rights of rural, aboriginal, coastal communities and all other groups or individuals who consume or interact with wild species and their derivatives. Protect the sovereign rights of independent states in their conservation efforts. And their right to seek national benefit from national wildlife assets.
