Pelorus Foundation

Pelorus Foundation We work with local communities to protect & preserve wildlife and wild places for generations to come

Launched in 2020, the Pelorus Foundation is a charity committed to enhancing our ability to protect, preserve and promote our planet by creating and supporting sustainable initiatives. We act as a catalyst to a network of individuals and organisations who are on the front lines of conservation and environmental protection, providing them with crucial support in their fight to protect and defend sp

ecies and habitats from the myriad threats they face. Through targeted donations and grants, sharing of knowledge and expertise, and amplification of their remarkable stories to our global audience, we are enabling our partners to enhance their impact and continue doing their vital work.

Did you know healthy soil contains more microorganisms in a teaspoon than there are people on Earth?

This International Day for Biological Diversity, Pelorus Foundation looks beneath the surface, to the less visible life yet essential to our planet.

In Indonesia, our partner Gula Gula is proving that biodiversity recovery does not begin only in the canopy, but deep in the soil. Through the Gula Gula Food Forest Programme, degraded land is being restored into living agroforestry systems where trees, wildlife, farmers, and even earthworms play a vital role in bringing ecosystems back to life.

Together with the Faculty of Soil Science at Brawijaya University, Gula Gula is studying below-ground biodiversity, including earthworms, which act as “architects of the soil” by breaking down organic matter, improving structure, and helping water and air move through the ground. Their presence is a powerful sign that degraded land is healing.

In 2025, Pelorus Foundation supported this work as Gula Gula helped 391 farming families, restored 325 hectares, planted 482,827 trees, protected 45,593 existing trees, and recorded 22 mammal species and 129 bird species across regenerating landscapes.

This is biodiversity in action: science-led, community-driven, and rooted in the ground beneath our feet.

Beekeepers care for bees, and bees care for everyone.

Bees have an extraordinary impact on both the environment and local communities, which makes them great catalysts for sustainable development.

At Pelorus Foundation, our mission is to protect and preserve wildlife and wild places, and we are all about nature-based solutions that work both for people and planet.

That is why we support projects like Mikoko Pamoja in Kenya, led by our partner (Association for Coastal Ecosystems Systems, ACES), where nature conservation meets community action to protect mangrove forests. These ecosystems are vital blue carbon ecosystems that support biodiversity, protect shorelines, and store carbon.

On World Bee Day, we look into the importance of bees in the world, and Mikoko Pamoja is working with beekeepers to help communities in mangrove forests on the Kenyan coast.

Through a new beekeeping initiative, the project is amplifying its environmental and social impact. With active hives and the first honey being harvested, bees are already making a difference. They are boosting pollination of mangroves and surrounding vegetation, strengthening the entire community.

A thriving forest, a thriving community, and a shared future with bees and people.

This Endangered Species Day, we are taking a chance to speak about the rarest rhino on Earth: the Javan rhino.

Once found across Asia in the thousands, the species has vanished country by country. Extinct in India by the early 1900s. Gone from Malaysia by 1932. Lost from Vietnam in 2010, when the last remaining individual was killed by poachers.

Today, every surviving Javan rhino lives in a single coastal park in Indonesia, its final refuge.

This makes every patrol, every restored hectare, every ranger, and every community partnership vital. The species faces poaching, disease, invasive plants, habitat pressure, low genetic diversity, and the constant threat of natural disaster. One crisis could change everything.

Pelorus Foundation is supporting the frontline communities and conservation teams working to protect this last population and create the conditions for recovery.

Saving the Javan rhino is no longer just about preventing extinction. It is about giving one of Earth’s rarest mammals the chance to return from the edge.

From Pelorus Foundation we wish a very Happy Birthday to Sir David Attenborough.

Today we celebrate your unmatched legacy in inspiring global action for nature. Your voice has brought the wild into homes and moved millions to care, act and protect.

At Pelorus Foundation, we believe that real environmental impact comes from listening to and supporting the communities on the front lines of conservation. Like you, we know that lasting change happens when people are empowered to protect the ecosystems they live in and depend on.

Today, we honour Sir David for what he has done and for what he continues to inspire in everyone. The fight for nature is far from over and we are here to support communities at the frontlines of conservation.

Human–wildlife conflict is happening now.

In southern Africa, elephants destroy crops overnight, livelihoods are lost, and both people and wildlife pay the price.

At Pelorus Foundation, we support solutions that work. With Wild Entrust Africa, science is helping communities protect crops and livestock using non-lethal deterrents that reduce conflict and save lives.

Now is the moment to act.

Through our campaign with the Big Give, your donation will be matched, doubling your impact to protect wildlife and support frontline communities.

Please double your impact today, link below and in comments!

Did you know there are just two northern white rhinos left on Earth?

Both are female, making natural reproduction impossible and leaving the subspecies functionally extinct

Poached for their horns and threatened by habitat encroachment, they can only be saved working together with the people closest to them.

Wildlife rangers are the last and only defense line for their survival, but they need help to face the daily dangers of the job to protect at-risk wildlife.

Through our appeal, your impact is doubled and turns into catalytic funding that provides vital resources to communities saving wildlife from extinction.

Your donations are being doubled, and we need your help to raise £8,000 to reach our matched giving target of £16,000. Please donate to double your impact on this crucial conservation effort.

Over 1 million pangolins have been trafficked in the last decade, making them the most trafficked mammals on Earth and pushing them toward extinction.

For the communities protecting them, giving up is not an option.

Across the frontlines, local guardians are rescuing, rehabilitating, and defending pangolins from poaching and illegal trade.

But without urgent support, that chance to save pangolins could disappear.

We need your help to raise £8,000 to reach our matched giving target of £16,000. Please donate to double your impact on this crucial conservation effort.

Your donation matters and could help equip pangolin guardians leading communities into conservation.
