What

If you're part of the music, film, television, theatre or advertising industry, you can make a #Promise4Wildlife as an individual or as a company. Your promise will be a commitment to never or to never again use captive wildlife for a creative or commercial project. 

As well as directly helping reduce demand for provision of captive wildlife, your promise will help shift public and industry mindsets to keep wild animals in the wild.

Huge thanks to members of the music community who have already shared a #Promise4Wildlife, we hope this is the start of an incredible change. 

How: for individuals

Make a #Promise4Wildlife to never or never again tolerate the use of captive wild animals in productions or projects you’re involved with. Post your #Promise4Wildlife on social media to show your support for a wildlife trade ban and to promote the message that wild animals belong in the wild. Then just stick to your promise, it's as simple as that!

Template text and an image selection for your promise post is available through the link below. You can adapt / personalize text or feel free to create your own post and incorporate #Promise4Wildlife. Tag us in your post so we can share it and say thank you.

How: for companies

Make a ground-breaking company-wide #Promise4Wildlife to never or never again use captive wild animals for a creative or commercial project. Demonstrate your company values by helping to protect wildlife, people, and the planet.

A template policy wording document is available for you to utilize or adapt for internal use, as well as a Q&A resource about the use of captive wildlife and how it connects to wildlife trade. We would love to collaborate on a timely and impactful media release with the first group of major companies who commit to a #Promise4Wildlife. Let’s talk!

When
