WHAT WE DO

Welcome to ESPA

The Endangered Species Protection Agency

(Reg. Charity 1164052)

The Endangered Species Protection Agency works within International Law and with local law enforcement to conserve and protect critically endangered and threatened species including rhino, elephant, gorilla, orangutan, tiger and many others.

The continued existence of these vulnerable animals is inseparably linked to the communities that share their habitat, requiring a hearts-and-minds approach to transparent, credible conservation security and strategy.

The Endangered Species Protection Agency has no political allegiances and is solely committed to the preservation of endangered species.

Our motto is:

Protect, serve and secure
today’s wildlife for the future.

“The Wildlife of today is not ours to dispose of as we please. We have it in trust. We must account for it to those who come after.”

KING GEORGE V
