PTES NEWS RELEASE
Since 1977 the People’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) has been helping to ensure a future for many endangered species throughout the world. Many British mammals have suffered dramatic declines and in response PTES places a special focus on supporting activities that endeavor to preserve our native mammals.
This year in order to maintain funding for this vital work, mainly gained through public generosity, PTES is offering a new ethical gift this Christmas:
We would all like to see the population re-established and so PTES has been helping to fund research into otter ecology on the Ceredigion coast of Wales. The work includes studying their behaviour and identifying the watercourses and habitat available for breeding and foraging. The availability of prey is also a key point in the study. In Peru PTES are also helping to fund an otter project which involves evaluating the competition for prey species between fisheries and the marine otter.
By buying a wildlife gift this Christmas you can help to protect our native wildlife. Our gifts are unique, fun to give and, let’s face it, they’ll make more of a difference than yet another pair of socks!
Other ethical gifts from PTES include: help a hedgehog; house a dormouse; protect a red squirrel and plant a tree. For more information or to buy an ethical wildlife gift please call 020 7498 4533 or email christine@ptes.org or visit www.ptes.org
