Where the money goes

These are the organisations we checked for this area. Not picked by name recognition but by transparency: legal form, registered office, year founded, transparency credential and how funds were used in the last published annual report. Where something stood out to us, it is stated.

Zoologische Gesellschaft Frankfurt

Not yet committed

Legal form
Registered association
Based in
Frankfurt am Main
Founded
1950
Transparency
Transparent Civil Society Initiative
Use of funds
über 90 % into the conservation programme

Since the days of Bernhard Grzimek the ZGF has worked in some of the last great wilderness areas on earth – Serengeti, Peruvian Amazon, Carpathians. Not a campaigning group but an organisation with its own staff permanently on site, often for decades in the same protected area.

Example project

Nashornschutz Gonarezhou · Simbabwe

Building and protecting a black rhino population in Gonarezhou National Park together with the Zimbabwean parks authority – rangers, monitoring, and work with the villages on the park boundary.

Pro Wildlife e.V.

Legal form
Registered association
Based in
München

Transparency
Transparent Civil Society Initiative
Use of funds
69,4 % project work (2025)

Small, technical and awkward: Pro Wildlife works mainly where species protection is actually decided – CITES conferences, EU legislation, trade bans – and funds direct conservation projects alongside. A group that produces files rather than photographs.

Example project

Elefanten-Waisenhaus · Sambia

Raising and releasing orphaned elephants whose mothers were killed by poachers – with the aim of returning them to wild herds.

Transparency
No DZI seal
Use of funds
34,8 % advertising and administration

VIER PFOTEN works very visibly in direct animal welfare: bear sanctuaries, big cat refuges, rescues from circuses and private keeping. The organisation runs its own sanctuaries – expensive, permanent and not delegable.

Example project

TIERART Wildtierstation · Maßweiler, Deutschland

A sanctuary for confiscated and abandoned wild animals – including big cats from circuses and private keeping, for which there are barely any places in Europe.

What you should know

At 34.8 per cent, the share for advertising and administration is above the threshold at which the DZI awards its seal. We name it because it touches our own promise: if we claim that as much as possible arrives, we have to say where that holds less well.
