About Howletts & Port Lympne
Howletts & Port Lympne Wild Animal Parks were set up by the late John Aspinall with the aim of protecting and breeding rare and endangered species and returning to safe areas in their native homeland. The Aspinall Foundation is the charity which manages Howletts and Port Lympne Wild Animal Parks, it is funded solely from charitable donations. World leaders in conservation - The Aspinall Foundation working in conjunction with the parks have so far returned to the wild Przewalski's horses, black rhino, Sumatran rhino, Cape buffalo, ocelots, pythons and gorillas. Donations to The Aspinall Foundation goes towards our vital conservation work here and abroad, including our gorilla rescue and rehabilitation projects in Africa.
The Aspinall Foundation manages two gorilla rescue and rehabilitation projects in the central African countries of Gabon and Congo, where we have successfully reintroduced over 50 gorillas. It is a sad fact that humans are likely to cause the extinction of a quarter of all known species in the next 20 years, unless we work to protect them now. If just one species disappears many others may suffer - we all rely on others to survive, upsetting this balance can put many in danger. Imagine a world without animals...
