As of the end of 2011 the European Carnivore Campaign had raised a total of €436,630. We still have a small amount of funding which we need to disburse and suitable projects will be found. The Campaign has increased the awareness of European wildlife both
amongst our membership and for our visitors. We have established good contacts with a number of conservation organizations which will form a good basis going forward for new European conservation initiatives by EAZA members.
A wide range of projects have been selected for support by the EAZA European Carnivore Campaign (see a selection of these projects in the table below). The full list of supported projects will become available on this website soon.
