Wildlife Heritage Foundation

Vision

Conservation, Procreation, Liberation — Small steps for Big Cats.

Mission

To be recognized and respected as being the best breeding centre for endangered big cats in the world.

Wildlife Heritage Foundation will achieve its mission by:

• Operating a centre of excellence in Kent, UK dedicated to the captive breeding of endangered big cats within the European Endangered Species Programmes (EEP) with the eventual aim of providing animals for scientifically based re-introduction projects. Very rare Amur leopards and Sumatran tigers are already established at the centre with a number of other cat species
• Promotion and funding of field conservation projects. As the financial strength of the Foundation increases WHF will become involved in field work in these areas of the world that still have surviving wild cat populations
• Providing a research base for people interested in the study of big cats in captivity
• Delivering an education programme that promotes the importance of bio-diversity and the role of the top predators to all our guests
• Joining together like minded people for the benefit of endangered species through our membership organisation
• Linking with organisations worldwide that have similar aims and objectives as Wildlife Heritage Foundation
• Developing the WHF Kent Centre as a wildlife haven for UK native species. Early research shows the site is used on a regular basis by many species of birds and insects and has an interesting resident reptile and small mammal population.
