Last Chance Forever, The Bird of Prey Conservancy's mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and release sick, injured, and orphaned birds of prey. Raptors are important ecological barometers, indicator species, that tell us messages concerning the over-all health of our environment. After all, they live on the same earth that we do, breath the same air, and drink the same water. Being smaller than us, toxins and other forms of environmental ills will affect them quicker than humans. LCF also provides sanctuary for raptors that are unfit to return to the wild. Many are used as Educational Ambassadors in public demonstrations, or as surrogates used to teach young raptors how to survive in the wild. LCF performs over 300 educational programs a year to a wide variety of audiences in varied venues.
Outside Shreveport, Louisiana, on 200 acres of beautiful, forested sanctuary, more than 300 chimpanzees, many of whom were used in biomedical research, are living the good life — or, as we like to call it, the Chimp Life. At Chimp Haven, chimps retired from research experience the joys they would have enjoyed in the wild: climbing trees, living in large, bonded social groups, eating their favorite fruits, running, playing, exploring, and — best of all — choosing how they spend their days. We believe they all deserve a chance to live the Chimp Life. That’s why we’re working diligently to transport all remaining chimpanzees to the sanctuary as soon as possible and embarking on an ambitious sanctuary expansion to ensure there is room to welcome them all home. On behalf of the more than 300 chimps currently enjoying retirement at Chimp Haven, and the many more to come, thank you for your support!

Our mission is the study and conservation of birds and their habitats around the Gulf of Mexico. With its central position between the Americas, the Gulf of Mexico is a natural obstacle faced by millions of migratory birds that must either cross or go around it each spring and fall as they travel between their breeding and wintering grounds. The habitats surrounding the Gulf are used by over 800 bird species. About 300 of those species are nearctic-neotropical migrants that rely on these habitats for their survival in order to rest and refuel enroute. The Gulf of Mexico region contains the Hemisphere's most important "stopover" habitat, but much of it is threatened by urbanization, destructive tourism development, and other land conversion activities. The Gulf region is shared among three countries-the United States, Mexico, and Cuba-and eleven U.S. and Mexican states. The Gulf Coast Bird Observatory (GCBO) has established a Site Partner Network to assist the conservation work of organizations and sites throughout this region. This network of sites currently includes 67 partners throughout this area responsible for over 9 million acres of coastal habitat. Fifteen of these partner sites protect Gulf coastal habitat outside the United States-seven in the Yucatan Peninsula, seven in the Mexican provinces of Veracruz and Tamaulipas, and one in western Cuba. By being part of this Site Partner Network, the conservation partners around the Gulf of Mexico benefit from information exchange, fundraising assistance, publicity, etc
Cameroon is one of the last places on earth where gorillas and chimpanzees still exist in the wild. Our front line conservation work includes rescuing gorillas, chimpanzees and monkeys orphaned by the illegal bushmeat and pet trades, and giving them a safe forest sanctuary home where they can live with their own kind. Conservation included people, too, and we work directly with local villagers, developing community projects to generate income for them. We have a thriving education programme and our teamwork with thousands of children and adults every year, most of whom have never seen the majestic gorillas and chimpanzees until they visit our forest sanctuary at Mefou Primate Park.

Friends Fur Life Rescue is a 501(c)3, a non-profit organization that is strictly made up of animal-loving volunteers. Their mission is to rescue “at-risk” dogs and cats that have been discarded and forgotten. They focus on the seniors, the ones with health issues and those abandoned, abused or neglected. Many animals we take in have extensive health or behavior issues and are pulled from local shelters before they are euthanized. Their only goal is to give every animal their furever home.
