Where Do Your Donations Go?
All donations made to a specific animal will result in that exact amount being delivered to that animal's conservation. Those funds will go to the corroborating charity, research group, or NGO.
All funds donated specifically to The Gabby Wild Foundation, Inc. go towards media promotion of the animal to support our "awareness" component of each campaign, basic charity maintenance fees, and direct conservation work for the animals. All funds from the products go directly back to the animals.

SPECIES LIST AND DONATION SPECS
Amur Leopard:
Population monitoring need to measure the effectiveness of our ongoing conservation strategies.
Wildlife diseases monitoring of leopards and their prey to ensure a healthy population and detect disease that may pose a risk to existing wild leopards.
Fire fighting activities aimed at protecting existing leopard habitat from wild fires that occur each spring season.
Anti-poaching aimed at protecting leopards and their prey from poachers.
Asian Elephant:
Increase national and international protected area network.
Create corridors to facilitate migration and minimise conflict between elephants and humans.

The Nest Kit (gadgets used to best preserve, monitor, and tend to kakapo eggs and chicks).
The Snark (a portable tracking device).
Purple Frog:
Work with local people to encourage ecologically sensitive farming techniques.

Red Panda:
Continued research into the ecology and distribution of this species in order to protect its habitat and lifestyle.
Quantification of the extent and intensity of current threats to effectively manage the current population.
Red Wolf
Your donations will help the Red Wolf Coalition provide direct benefit to the animals themselves. Your commitment to the survival of the red wolf will help us with the following:
Assistance to on-the-ground efforts of the Red Wolf Recovery Team. Red wolves are so rare that every effort is made to help them survive in the wild. Wild-born pups are vaccinated against rabies, canine parvovirus and distemper. We need veterinary supplies and money for veterinary services for the wolves. A portion of the adult population is outfitted with radio-tracking collars, and some with GPS-tracking collars so their movements can be monitored by the biologists on the Red Wolf Recovery Team. Red wolves being held temporarily at the Education and Health Facility must be fed a nutritious diet designed for wild canids. Your donations will help cover these significant costs!
Costs associated with the live wolf exhibit. These costs include enhancements for the captive ambassador wolf habitat and can be anything from gnawing bones, to large boulders to climb on, to "carnivore logs" for tasty treats!
Enhancements for the Red Wolf Coalition education programs including a web cam, print materials and distance-learning equipment.
Rondo Dwarf Galago:
We need a headcount!!! Thus funds for this animal will involve surveys to determine population size in the remaining forest patches.
Sumatran Tiger
Tiger Human Conflict: support of a wildlife crime unit which resides in an around Jambi to work with the local community to reduce the potential for Tiger Human Conflict and antipoaching.
One of our associate tiger researchers, Dolly Priatna, has a tiger collaring programme to assess how tigers adapt when they have been removed from a conflict situation and translocated to a new area.
Tiger population management: coordination with the Ministry of Forestry and tiger conservation groups in order for Indonesia to meet it's commitment to the Global Tiger Recovery Programme. The goal of the Global Tiger Recovery Programme is to establish wildlife – tiger forest corridors through an agricultural landscape, using protected area management to assist in preserving two national parks Berbak and Sembilang located in the South East of Sumatra.
Tiger Health and Handling: working with local vets through-out Sumatra to undertake training on how to deal with wild tiger populations.
