Our work
WARN connects animal-welfare education with fundraising for organisations able to help. We focus on understanding current needs, assessing proposed recipients and making the use of donations clear.
These areas explain the needs behind WARN’s appeals. An area appearing here is not evidence that a grant has already been made. Each appeal should be read alongside its purpose, recipient arrangements and available reporting.
Forest and peatland fires can destroy shelter, fragment habitat and expose wildlife to smoke. The Kalimantan appeal seeks funds for eligible local response, recovery and prevention, with recipients still being selected.
Explore the appealAnimal-welfare needs include veterinary treatment, appropriate population management, vaccination and community engagement. Plans must account for local conditions and the capacity to provide continuing care.
Explore the appealConfiscated, injured or displaced wildlife may need specialist veterinary care and suitable rehabilitation. Release requires appropriate permissions, habitat and assessment; sanctuary care may be needed when release is unsuitable.
Explore the appealIllegal trade and abusive captivity create needs that extend beyond the moment an animal is removed. Transport, quarantine, qualified care and a sustainable long-term placement all need planning.
Explore the appealDonkeys and horses need suitable nutrition, water, rest, well-fitted equipment and veterinary attention. Useful support combines treatment with practical changes owners can sustain.
Explore the appealAnimals depend on functioning habitats. Fire prevention, restoration and measures that reduce harmful encounters with people can complement individual rescue when tied to a clear local need.
Explore the appealBefore approving support, our intended process checks an organisation’s identity, relevant experience, current request and proposed budget. The agreed purpose should be recorded, payments checked and follow-up proportionate to the award. Good reporting shows what was paid, what happened next and what remains uncertain.
WARN publishes animal-welfare information and raises funds with the aim of supporting capable local organisations. Its grant process assesses need, delivery capacity, welfare, budgets and reporting. Published grant records distinguish approvals, payments and recipient results.
WARN is not a public emergency dispatch service or a pet rehoming centre. Contact a local veterinarian, authorised wildlife rescuer or relevant emergency authority when an animal needs immediate help. The rescue guides and directory can help you find appropriate routes.
Local organisations may already have the staff, permissions, facilities and relationships needed to deliver appropriate help. WARN must assess each proposed recipient and funding request; location alone does not establish suitability or prove that an award has been made.
Read the appeal’s recipient status and the grant register. A campaign being published, a meeting taking place and money being paid are different stages. WARN will publish grant information when records are available, with a source and reporting status.
