OUR VISION IS TO DEVELOP NEW MODELS FOR CONSERVATION THAT ENABLE PEOPLE TO SUPPORT AND SUSTAIN POPULATIONS OF LARGE WILD ANIMALS AND THE NATURAL LANDSCAPES THEY DEPEND ON.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has a robust balance sheet
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end but this has been generated by an income surplus in the latest year and spending has been increasing rapidly
