Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is a global leader in elephant conservation and one of Africa's most established wildlife charities. Founded in 1977 by Dame Daphne Sheldrick DBE, it is best known for its pioneering work in the rescue, raising, and rewilding of orphaned elephants and rhinos. 

Over the years, the SWT has evolved into a multi-dimensional conservation body, tackling the greatest threats facing Kenya's natural world and engaging local communities in the process. It has successfully raised over 320 orphaned elephants, and 19 endangered black rhinos, through its renowned Orphans' Project, while its habitat preservation programs and Anti-Poaching, Aerial Surveillance, and Mobile Veterinary Units secure a future for all manner of wildlife.

In 2004 the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust was incorporated as a charity in England & Wales (registered no: 1103836), for the protection and preservation of wildlife and habitats in East Africa. 

The UK based charity formed Sheldrick Trading Limited in 2020 - a wholly owned subsidiary of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust - which directs its profits to the charity to fulfil its conservation mission. 

APOPO is a non-profit organization that uses innovative scent-detection animals to address global humanitarian challenges, primarily landmine detection and tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Tanzania, APOPO is best known for training African giant pouched rats—nicknamed HeroRATs—to detect landmines and identify TB in human sputum samples.

The organization's mission is to protect people and the planet by deploying trained animals to deliver low-cost, efficient, and scalable solutions. In landmine-affected countries like Cambodia, Angola, and Mozambique, APOPO's rats and technical survey dogs help clear explosive remnants of war, returning safe land to communities. In the health sector, their TB-detection rats screen large volumes of samples quickly and accurately, often identifying cases missed by conventional methods. 

Since 2021, APOPO's search and rescue project has been training these rats to detect signs of life under rubble, which has the potential for use in rescue missions after natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons.

Through its work, APOPO not only saves lives but also supports community development, improves public health, and promotes innovation in humanitarian technology.

Reforest Nation is a social enterprise based in Ireland that is dedicated to restoring native forests, reviving biodiversity, and rewilding the Irish landscape. Since 2021, they have planted over one million certified native trees across the country, collaborating with community groups, landowners, schools, and other environmental initiatives. 

Their approach is not just about planting trees—it's about creating resilient ecosystems that flourish. By using native tree species, designing ecologically diverse forests (not monocultures), and monitoring forests over time, they aim to support habitats for wildlife, mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration, protect waterways and bogs, and foster thriving ecosystems across Ireland. 

Reforest Nation offers ways for individuals, families, businesses, and communities to get involved: by planting or gifting trees, by contributing to seasonal membership plans, or by helping restore local habitats. They also provide transparency and accountability: every tree they plant has GPS‑coordinates, photo and video updates, and the opportunity to visit planting sites. 

Ultimately, their mission is to turn concern for climate and biodiversity loss into practical, local action—helping people reconnect with nature, healing damaged landscapes, and bringing Ireland's wild spaces back to life.
