Through my artwork, I hope that I am able to promote the work of the Conservation groups that I support and help raise the 'much needed' funds. Please take a moment to visit the websites of just a few of these important organisations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ GREENPEACE -Using non-violent confrontation to force change, Greenpeace continues to challenge the polluters and promote sustainable alternatives. Since 1971, Greenpeace has been at the forefront campaigning against issues such as; nuclear testing, whaling, the logging of ancient forests and the use of driftnets in European waters. An organisation that now has 2.6 million supporters in 158 countries; Greenpeace has consistently been a voice for people who want a cleaner, safer, greener world.

FRIENDS OF THE EARTH - An organisation that has campaigned on many issues including; climate change, waste disposal, recycling, transport and road systems, nuclear waste disposal and endangered species, in order to give us a cleaner, safer, fairer world. Today, toxic pollution and untested genetically engineered foods, excessive consumerism and companies which put their profits before people are issues that Friends Of The Earth will campaign hard on, on your behalf. If you would like to help please contact.
COMPASSION IN WORLD FARMING - Concerned with the animal welfare issues connected to the new systems of intensive farming that were becoming popular during the 1960's, dairy farmer Peter Roberts and his wife Anna, unable to convince major animal welfare societies to campaign against factory farming decided to do it themselves and Compassion in World Farming was born. CIWF campaign through peaceful protest and lobbying and by raising awareness of the issues of farm animal welfare. If you would like to help please contact.
THE ONAWAY TRUST - Established in 1974 with the overall and wide objective of relieving poverty and suffering. Central to Onaway's focus throughout has been the assistance for Indigenous Cultures - particularly Native Americans. To date, Onaway has supported an exensive number of projects worldwide, many of which have grown to become successful, sustainable organisations in their own right. At the heart of each project is an inherent desire to protect Nature's bio-diversity, the environment. Onaway provides small but significant grants to organisations whose aim is to increase self-sufficiency through self-help initiatives. These projects strive to increase self-esteem by giving people a hand-up rather than a hand-out, helping communities to become self-sufficient. Onaway is offering real hope for the future of their very existence. If you would like to help please contact.
LEAGUE AGAINST CRUEL SPORTS - Founded in 1924, the League Against Cruel Sports is at the forefront of the campaign to end hunting and coursing of wild animals. The League has already enjoyed considerable success in gaining legal protection for Britain's wildlife. The League Against Cruel Sports aim to end the brutality of bloodsports and secure full legal protection for all our wild mammals and birds. If you would like to help please contact.
PROJECT SEAHORSE - A marine conservation team, committed to conserving and managing seahorses, their relatives and their habitats while respecting human needs. Project Seahorse integrates many and varied initiatives in a flexible conservation programme. We collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders and partners to build capacity for conservation and to take action. Education is very important if conservation initiatives are to have long-lasting benefits. Project seahorse aims to introduce as many people as possible to seahorses, their relatives, their habitats, and their ecosystems and to marine conservation in general. Some of our most active work is in developing countries. If you would like to help please contact.
BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION - Butterfly Conservation exists to protect our wild butterflies and their habitats. Habitat destruction has been and remains the greatest threat facing butterflies. British Butterfly Conservation has many roles to perform: Conservation, Surveys, Research, Education, Lobbying and Re-establishments. The ultimate goal is the restoration of a balanced countryside, with butterflies and other wildlife returned to the profusion they, and we, once enjoyed. If you would like to help please contact.
ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF BIRDS - The RSPB works for a healthy environment rich in birds and wildlife; it depends on the support and generosity of others to make a difference. While the main public face of the RSPB is the creation and management of nature reserves, of which there are over 100, to help birds and other wildlife, it does an enormous amount of work 'behind the scenes'. This includes debating with and advising Government on a range of issues that affect us all. Farmland is an important habitat for many species of birds and other wildlife. Changes in farming methods over the last 50 years or so have had a serious impact on wildlife and the countryside but many farmers are willing to farm in ways which help wildlife. The RSPB seeks the best possible protection for the UK's designated wildlife sites, through improved legislation and stronger site safeguard. If you would like to help please contact.
PEOPLES TRUST FOR ENDANGERED SPECIES - The People's Trust takes on a whole range of projects for endangered and threatened species and their habitats all over the world, as well as here in the UK. This work varies enormously from project to project and can be research into conservation problems or practical conservation work in the field. PTES owns and manages two very different reserves, Briddlesford Woods on the Isle of Wight and Rough Hill orchard in Worcestershire. Many British mammals have suffered dramatic declines in numbers, particularly in the last century. If enough isn't done soon, extinction is not a question of if but when. If you would like to help please contact.
WOODLAND TRUST -The UK's leading conservation charity dedicated to the protection of our native woodland heritage. By acquiring sites and campaigning for woodland, we aim to conserve, restore and re-establish native woodland to its former glory. Currently we own and care for over 1,000 woods, covering over 50,000 acres. On average for every new member paying just £2.50 per month we can protect and care for half an acre of native woodland. If you would like to help please contact.
The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) is the UK charity dedicated to caring for our seas, shores and wildlife. MCS campaigns for clean seas and beaches, sustainable fisheries, and protection for all marine life. We are celebrating our Silver Jubilee in the year 2008/09, 25 years of groundbreaking work to protect our sea life - from whales, dolphins, sharks and turtles, to fish, plankton, corals and crabs. MCS also has dedicated marine conservation programmes for Scotland and Wales. If you would like to help please contact.
