Animal Survival International (ASI) continues its multifaceted work protecting vulnerable wildlife across the globe, with recent efforts highlighted in reports from January and 2025. The organization, operating as a registered charity in multiple countries including the UK, US, Australia, Canada, Netherlands, and New Zealand, focuses on rescue, rehabilitation, and anti-poaching initiatives, with a particular emphasis on species facing critical endangerment.
ASI’s work spans a diverse range of animals, from pangolins and leopards to monkeys and bears. A recent focus, as noted in materials released around World Pangolin Day, is the rescue of pangolins, animals heavily impacted by poaching. The organization provides funding for urgent relocations, veterinary treatment, and species-specific nutrition, alongside supporting anti-poaching measures. This commitment extends to providing resources for the care of big cats and other animals rescued from abusive situations or cruel captivity.
The organization’s structure reflects its international reach. Animal Survival International Ltd is registered as a non-profit organization at Companies House in the UK (Company number: 02565899). In the United States, Animal Survival International USA Inc. Operates as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization (EIN 88-3049506). Donations made by mail to the US branch should be payable to “Animal Survival International USA.” ASI also maintains a presence in South Africa, registered as Animal Survival International NPC (PBO Reg No: 2022/391872/08), a tax-exempt charitable institution where donations from South African taxpayers are tax-deductible (Tax exemption reference number: 930078975).
ASI’s financial transparency is evident in its provision of tax receipts. Section 18A Tax receipts are issued upon request at the end of the financial year, with requests directed to info@animalsurvival.org. This commitment to accountability underscores the organization’s dedication to responsible stewardship of donor funds.
While specific details of projects undertaken in January 2025 and throughout 2025 are not detailed in the provided materials, reports indicate significant achievements for wild animals globally. The organization’s ability to respond to emerging needs is a core tenet of its mission, allowing it to adapt its programs to address the most pressing threats to wildlife. ASI’s flexibility, funded by contributions from supporters, is crucial in tackling the dynamic challenges of conservation.
Wildlife Conservation International (WCI), a separate but related organization, also operates internationally, with registration in Australia, Canada, Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United States.

WCI’s US entity (EIN 84-1899559) is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit, eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions, and information can be found on the IRS website.

WCI operates under several registered business names, including The Orangutan Project, International Elephant Project, International Tiger Project, and Forests for People. Founded in Perth, Western Australia in 1998, WCI has expanded significantly due to increased need, donor support, and collaborations with conservation groups and local authorities. The organization’s growth reflects the escalating global crisis facing wildlife populations.

Their work, supported by donations and international partnerships, provides a critical lifeline for animals threatened by poaching, habitat loss, and other human-induced pressures. The ongoing need for funding and support underscores the urgency of conservation efforts in a rapidly changing world.
