Born Free works tirelessly to ensure that all wild animals, whether living in captivity or in the wild, are treated with compassion and respect and are able to live their lives according to their needs. As a leading wildlife charity, they oppose the exploitation of wild animals in captivity and campaign to keep them where they belong – in the wild. They promote Compassionate Conservation to enhance the survival of threatened species in the wild and protect natural habitats while respecting the needs and safeguarding the welfare of individual animals. They seek to have a positive impact on animals in the wild and protect their ecosystems in perpetuity, for their own intrinsic value and for the critical roles they play within the natural world.

Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE is known for her 60-year research into the lives of wild chimpanzees of Gombe, Tanzania. She discovered that by putting local communities at the heart of conservation, we improve the lives of people, animals and the environment. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute to ensure the continuity of her programmes including ongoing research, two sanctuaries for orphan chimpanzees, TACARE the community-centred conservation programme now being replicated in other countries and Roots & Shoots. Roots & Shoots is Jane Goodall's humanitarian and environmental programme empowering young people of all ages in more than 65 countries to become involved in hands-on projects to benefit the community, animals and the environment we all share.

Compassion in World Farming aims to eliminate all practices of factory farming through peaceful protests and creating a more humane and sustainable food and farming system. They aim to do this through a 5-year strategic plan that involves recognising the problem, exposing the myth that factory farming is a ‘necessary evil’ and persuading food companies and legislators to adopt higher welfare solutions. Their vision is “a world where farmed animals are treated with compassion and respect”.
