art for conservation

Support a nature conservation project by purchasing a print.

Wild & Free is a UK-based charity, which supports organizations and projects on a global scale. Formed in 2014, the aim of Wild & Free is to facilitate wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and their successful release back into the wild. The charity works towards:

 

  1. The conservation of endangered species of animals through the provision of grants.
  2. The advancement of education for the public benefit on rehabilitation and reintroduction to all individuals, groups and societies concerned with the rescue of wild animals, which are endangered, orphaned, sick, injured or abused and by raising awareness of standards and necessary requirements to rehabilitate and reintroduce wild animals to their natural habitats.

Wild & Free’s projects are carefully selected by founder, Geraldine Morelli. The first criteria of the charity is to understand how successful the wildlife centres are in their rehabilitation and release programs. The second criteria is to focus on a distinct project, so that donations can go directly towards a specific cause. In all scenarios, 100% of donations to Wild & Free are transferred to the beneficiaries. 

Saving Elephants with Bees

Wild & Free’s Project with AFeWis in Tanzania

Tanzania has lost 60% of their elephants in 5 years. Between 2009 and 2014, poaching and the human-elephant conflict has been the cause of many deaths.


Elephants do not care about borders. Crossing boundaries of National Parks, they break down fences, which encase farmland, and feast on the farmers’ crops (e.g. maize, beans, banana plantations, etc.). Angry and in danger of losing their source of income, the farmers set out to poison or kill the pachyderms. Yet, there is a solution in sight.


Elephants and bees are not friends. This is precisely what can save these gentle giants. AFeWis (Alert for Endangered Wildlife Species) is resolving the human-wildlife conflict between farmers and elephants by installing beehives along the borders of National Parks. This way, when elephants approach the National Park boundaries, the disturbed bees attack and elephants simply turn around, as they are afraid of bees.


Farmers do not need to kill or poison the pachyderms, as their crops are now safe from being destroyed.


By raising funds for AFeWis, Wild & Free are helping to sponsor beehives for the organization. The best part – each beehive gets named after the sponsor!
