Species Survival Network
The Species Survival Network (SSN), founded in 1992, is an international coalition of over eighty non-governmental organizations (NGOs) committed to the promotion, enhancement, and strict enforcement of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Through scientific and legal research, education and advocacy, the SSN is working to prevent over-exploitation of animals and plants due to international trade.
International Tiger Coalition (ITC)
WildAid, along with 42 of the world’s top conservation organisations, is a member of the largest tiger coalition in the world – the International Tiger Coalition. United under the common aim 'to bring back wild tigers' by stopping trade in tiger parts and products from all sources, this coalition from the conservation, zoo, animal welfare, traditional Chinese medicine and responsible-tourism communities has come together to speak with one voice in calling for an end to trade in tiger parts and products.
Operation Charm
Operation Charm was launched by the London Metropolitan Police in 1995. It is the only current police initiative against the illegal trade in endangered species in the UK and uses a combination of law enforcement and publicity in London.In 2006, Operation Charm became a partnership between the Metropolitan Police Wildlife Crime Unit, the Greater London Authority, WildAid, and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), WWF-UK and the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF).
Shark Alliance
The Shark Alliance is a global, not-for-profit collation of non-governmental organisations dedicated to restoring and conserving shark populations by improving shark conservation policies.
Together, we are focused on securing the following:
1. Shark fishing limits in line with scientific advice and the precautionary approach, including stronger policies to prevent shark finning;
2. Safeguards and conservation guidance for sharks through the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES);
3. A United Nations Resolution that includes ambitious timelines for implementation of the International Plan of Action for Sharks and lays out consequences for inaction.
Shark Savers
WildAid partners with 7 marine conservation organisations to support Shark Savers. Founded in 2007, Shark Savers focus is on action and results, designing programmes that result in saving the lives of sharks. By leveraging professional experience and expertise, Shark Savers brings the issue to the masses in many compelling forms, motivating people to stop consuming sharks, serving as the voice for a maligned species, and focusing their attention on locations where sharks need to be protected.
