3. Using this research  Using this research, I was able to formulate an idea of the sort of membership fees I would use for the 5 different types of memberships offered by WildCare.  Throughout the different membership schemes, the top membership is the most costly.  Applying this to the ones offered by WildCare and the idea that two of these new memberships would be children and teens, these would be the cheapest and then it would increase up to Platinum.

4. Animal Conservation Research  For Example:  Namibia Namibia  Amid Namibia’s ocean shores, woodland savannas and deserts, there is an extraordinary array of marine and terrestrial life, including the largest free- roaming population of black rhino in Africa and the largest cheetah population in the world. WWF’s work in Namibia focuses on supporting their communal conservancy program—a successful model for balancing the needs of people and wildlife. WWF partners with local communities to help them manage their natural resources and ensure a future for wildlife populations and sustainable economic growth. Today, there is a direct relationship between the health of wildlife populations and prosperity of local communities. Poaching has declined dramatically and there are restored populations of numerous species, such as lions, cheetahs, black rhinos and zebras  WWF works to conserve life on Earth by protecting its most exceptional ecosystems and habitats. Places which are rich in biodiversity. Places with unique animals and plants. Places like no other.  By working with partners on global and local levels, WWF aims to conserve many of the world’s most ecologically important regions. In Namibia, we’ve supported a new approach to protect wildlife and habitat—communal conservancies. To save tigers, WWF worked with the governments of the 13 nations that are home to wild tigers to commit to doubling populations in the next 10 years.

5. Animal Conservation Research  Conservation in Action  Our mission is to promote and achieve worldwide conservation for animals and their habitats.  The only way that we can achieve this aim in the long term is through our work with governments, civil society and the private sector to create large- scale changes and influence policy making. ZSL also contributes to building conservation capacity and skills in the UK and abroad.  Protecting ecosystem services and fostering sustainable relationships between humans, habitats and species will be vital to protecting global biodiversity for good.  Working With Industry  We work with national and international natural resource industries and other businesses to enable them to limit the negative impacts of their activities.  We assist in biodiversity monitoring and advise on best practices for certification of industry products, including the FSC and the Marine Stewardship council.  http://www.zsl.org/conserv ation/about-conservation/ http://www.zsl.org/conserv ation/about-conservation/
