Established in 2009, The Habitat And Wildlife Conservation Society (HAWCS) is a UK Registered Charity, No.1134106, which has been supporting and raising funds and awareness for other non governmental organisations (NGO’s), Charities, and Educational 0rganisations, both in the UK and overseas, to further develop conservation awareness and preservation practices for wildlife and their habitats. With both old and new projects in Sumatra and our own project for an education and wildlife rescue centre in the Wales. See our news, events and projects pages on how you can get involved.
Our vision has been to promote awareness and understanding of the natural world and it’s plight to a growing human population, and what action we can take to safe guard fast diminishing environments and species. HAWCS aim is to promote the intrinsic value of wildlife and their habitats, to highlight the interconnection that exists between eco-systems and the economic and socio/scientific benefits these systems provide. It is our hope and belief that we can help to encourage the rights of indigenous human and animal populations to co-exist as they did in previous generations, and towards a sustainable future.
Indigenous species require stable ecosystems to ensure their survival, and it is the belief of this organisation that humanity has an ethical responsibility to preserve and maintain existing habitats for the future generations of wildlife and human populations.
The immediate focus is on the Island of Sumatra in Indonesia and the Island of Anglesey In Wales. Join with us alongside other organisations, raise awareness and funds to enable organisations working directly in the field to continue their work and achieve new goals. Help us to establish a new wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center in the UK and to work alongside indigenous farmers, landowners and human populations to preserve wildlife habitats.
The Bigger Picture
It is our vision to ensure that the place that our future generations will see some of the worlds most incredible creatures will be in their rightful environment, in the wild! This can only be achieved by working together with governments and other charities and non governmental agencies to ensure that there are ecologically viable and sustainable habitats that allow flora and fauna to thrive uninterrupted by humans.
The threat to nature and wildlife is now greater than ever, the worldwide drive for economic growth is having a debilitating and devastating effect on the natural world. Our beautiful planet’s wildlife is disappearing as we stand, particularly if we watch and remain inactive, believing that it is out of our hands or that someone else will look after it , then there will be disastrous consequences ! It is predicted that we will loose many of our larger mammals within the next 50 years if immediate action is not taken. We now know that we are all part of a much bigger picture and the consequences cannot be confined to exotic animals in far-away places, but we must look at all ecosystems worldwide, because if we do not do this the damaging change to the eco-system of many habitats will ultimately have long term detrimental effects on human populations and their well-being also.
One of our key areas of work is to enable environmental education for school children. Our aim is to convey and encourage an empathic understanding of the importance of conservation and how individuals by their choices and purchasing practices can have a direct impact on wildlife and the preservation of their habitats. We aim to raise children’s awareness so that future generations are equipped to preserve and not destroy what is often taken for granted and enable future generations to co-exist in a sustainable manner alongside wildlife that deserve an equal share to this planet.
The Habitat And Wildlife Conservation Society (HAWCS) is currently supporting work directly in the field on the Islands of SUMATRA, Indonesia and our future plans are for the Island of Anglesey, United Kingdom, where we will be working with our partners to provide education, wildlife population surveys and conservation practices. Our future aim is to build our own wildlife education and rescue centre, and work alongside local farmers supporting them with their own conservation efforts and rewilding projects. Please help us in supporting our worthy cause as we endeavour to raise public awareness, concern and action. We would really appreciate your help in safeguarding wildlife, their habitats and ultimately our Children’s future.
