Media Information

WildlifeDirect relies on media partners to propagate the stories told by rangers and conservationists in the frontline of conservation. To facilitate easy liaison with the media, we have established a communications office that is available to handle all media inquiries. Occasionally, we issue press releases highlighting pertinent and urgent conservation issues. At the beginning of each month, we send out a monthly newsletter that highlights the big stories of the previous month. You can subscribe to our mailing list to receive these two electronic publications.
