Aims
& Objectives
Our aim and mission is to protect wildlife from cruelty and
to alleviate suffering wherever we can. We are opposed to
all forms of cruelty to wildlife.
Our aims are to change people's attitudes towards wild animals
and to provide immediate aid to all wildlife in distress.
We aim to support orphan and injured animals and return them
to the wild wherever possible.
Raising funds for projects and research
All around the world, at home and abroad, humans continue
to deliberately cause wild animals great suffering and trauma
through their cruel actions - whether through poaching, for
the fur and fashion trade, for hunting, for work practices,
as a result of human population pressures, for our 'entertainment'
or for 'sport'. BJWDF USA has been created to raise funds
in order to commission and support projects
and research to end this cruelty wherever we can.
We have strong, personal contacts with experienced professional
advisers in many parts of the world who are helping us to
achieve our aims.
Educating, lobbying, advising
BJWDF USA was born out of the concern of its founder, Dr.
Bill Jordan, at the needless suffering inflicted by humans
on animals. Much of this cruelty is a result of ignorance
and indifference. We aim to educate people and tackle the
problems of exploitation of wild animals by humans, and to
lobby governments and authorities to write and uphold legislation
that will end all cruelty to wildlife.
We provide advice and aid to wildlife in Kenya, Thailand,
Nepal, Botswana, Chile, as well as in England and other countries.
Making a real difference
We are currently funding projects that are protecting cheetahs
in Botswana, tigers
in Nepal, elephants
in Kenya and Thailand, rhinos
in Africa through our close association with Rhino Ark, and
african lions through construction
of a cultural village in Kenya.
