Where We Work

17 countries across South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Africa, Southern Africa and South America. One mission: reach the animals that need us most.

Country pages show current programme focus. Rescue guides and newsroom articles may mention other countries for education and search, but funding is directed through this network.

WARN Programme Country

In brief

WARN's partner network spans 17 countries across South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Africa, Southern Africa and South America. Each country page connects donors to the species, threats and appeals most relevant to that place.

Southeast Asia

Indonesia

Indonesia is the largest of WARN's partner-network countries and one of the most biodiverse nations on earth. It is also one of the most heavily impacted by deforestation, the illegal wildlife trade, and marine plastic pollution.

Southeast Asia

Malaysia

Malaysia is both a source and a transit country for trafficked wildlife. The Bornean state of Sabah and Peninsular Malaysia each face distinct rescue challenges — orangutans, sun bears and pangolins on Borneo, and trafficking interdiction at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Southeast Asia

Vietnam

Vietnam is the country at the centre of three of WARN's most urgent appeals: moon-bear bile-farming retirement, the cat meat trade, and pangolin trafficking interdiction.

Southeast Asia

Thailand

Thailand sits at the centre of the global captive-wildlife tourism debate. Roughly 3,000-4,000 captive elephants live in Thai tourism, alongside tiger photo-ops, monkey shows and slow-loris selfie stalls.

Southeast Asia

Cambodia

Cambodia's eastern forests are at the centre of the Southeast Asian snare crisis. Researchers describe much of the remaining Lower Mekong forest as suffering from 'empty forest syndrome' — habitat that looks intact but holds almost no wildlife.

Pakistan

Pakistan is WARN's flagship street-dog welfare country. It is also home to the snow leopard, the markhor and a significant working-equine population. Our launch programme in Karachi is one of the most concrete pieces of WARN's first year.

Colombia

Colombia is the most biodiverse country in the world by species per square kilometre — and one of the most active source countries for trafficked parrots, primates and reptiles bound for Europe and the United States.

South America

Peru

Peru's Madre de Dios region faces aggressive deforestation from illegal gold mining. Mercury contamination poisons the rivers, and clear-cuts displace primates and macaws into shrinking forest islands.

East Africa

Kenya

Kenya is one of the East African countries WARN is preparing to operate in, and one of the most important wildlife-rescue countries in the world. The Tsavo ecosystem alone protects an estimated 13,000 elephants, and snaring is one of the largest non-poaching threats to large mammals.

Tanzania

Tanzania holds one of the largest contiguous protected wildlife landscapes in Africa — the Selous-Niassa corridor that links southern Tanzania with Mozambique. It is also home to one of Africa's largest remaining elephant and lion populations.

South Asia

India

India holds more large wild mammals alongside more people than almost anywhere on earth. It is the global stronghold of the Bengal tiger, the Asian elephant and the greater one-horned rhino — and a country where human-wildlife conflict, road and rail corridors, and the illegal trade in body parts put constant pressure on that wildlife.

South Asia

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka packs an extraordinary density of wildlife into a small island — its own endemic leopard, one of Asia's largest elephant populations relative to land area, and globally important seas for blue whales and dugongs. It also has one of the most intense human-elephant conflicts anywhere on earth.

Brazil

Brazil holds more of the living world than any other country — the Amazon, the Pantanal and the Atlantic Forest between them shelter jaguars, giant otters, river dolphins and thousands of bird species. It is also a frontline for deforestation, fire and the wildlife trade.

Southern Africa

South Africa

South Africa holds the largest rhino populations on earth and the continent's most developed wildlife economy — and, with that, the centre of the global rhino-poaching crisis. It is a country of world-class reserves and intense pressure on the animals inside them.

Rwanda

Rwanda has rebuilt itself around conservation, turning mountain-gorilla protection into a national success story and reintroducing lions and rhinos to its flagship park. It is a small, densely populated country where wildlife and people live in very close proximity.

Southeast Asia

Philippines

The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7,600 islands with extraordinary marine biodiversity and acute street-animal welfare needs in its megacities. It is also a trafficking hub for parrots, reptiles and other wildlife bound for domestic markets and export.

Uganda holds roughly half the world's remaining mountain gorillas, alongside chimpanzees, elephants and lions in the Albertine Rift — one of Africa's richest and most crowded wildlife corridors.
