OUR
IMPACT
Asia Wild vets our partners and grantees using a variety of criteria, including ensuring that the organization does not buy, sell, trade, breed, or exploit animals for profit; reviewing financials to determine how funds are used; visiting the organization whenever possible; researching the organization with industry experts and associations that recognize sanctuaries as well run and maintain responsible practices.
​
Asia Wild Partners are organizations the board has thoroughly vetted and approved. We are actively working closely with these partners on strategic programs. Partners will receive grants on a rolling basis. We also accept grant applications from other organizations (grantees) twice a year. Learn more about becoming a grantee.

Wildlife Friends Thailand
Mission: In Thailand, like in every country in the world, animals are abused and exploited for profit and human gratification. There are many examples of animal exploitation within the tourist industry, for example, photo prop animals, animals performing in degrading shows, and elephant camps. Furthermore, there is still a thriving illegal trade in wild animals for pets and medicine.
​
About: WFFT are passionate about changing the habits of international tourists who visit Thailand, who unknowingly fuel the illegal trade and the exploitation and abuse of Thailand’s wildlife
​
Recent Project
In January 2023, Asia Wild granted WFFT $7,000 to build an outdoor enclosure for bears that WFFT rescued from the bankrupt Phuket Zoo. In August 2023, the Board approved a $100,000 grant to help rescue 50 Gibbons and 18 Macaques that will be moved to WWFT.
