Our 2024 Annual General Meeting will be held in Whitchurch on Wednesday the 27th of November
COP16 held in Cali, Colombia came to a close on November 2nd, 2024. Following the creation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) in 2022, which set out the ambitious aim to conserve 30% of the world's land and ocean and to become 'nature-positive' by 2030, the conference was intended to mobilise action to reach these targets.
As a growing charity, we are now looking to expand our scope beyond the UK by establishing global conservation hubs. Our vision is to work with local conservation services to preserve samples from native wildlife within their own country, enabling appropriate stewardship of these valuable resources.
Last week, we had the incredible opportunity to visit two of our valued conservation partners – Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park and Watatunga Wildlife Reserve. These two institutions both exemplify the profound impact that dedication to wildlife preservation can have on protecting our planet's biodiversity.
Penh, a Cambodian binturong beloved by keepers and visitor alike, has sadly passed this week at Drusillas Zoo Park. But Penh’s legacy will live on - as his passing brings a new partnership between Nature’s SAFE and Drusillas Zoo Park. Through our new partnership, we were able to preserve Penh’s genetic material, ensuring that his unique genetic heritage can contribute to the survival of his species in the future.
Verity Smith, known for her achievements as an international dressage rider and advocate for the blind, is joining our team as a Nature’s SAFE ambassador.
