Asian Conservation Awareness Programme - India
The Asian Conservation
Awareness Programme (ACAP) is a multi-media campaign
that is being undertaken by WildAid in partnership with
the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF), both
UK-based NGOs. The programme has run successfully in
South-east Asia where it increased education on conservation,
raised awareness, and reduced consumer demand for endangered
species’ products.
In 2003, ACAP was extended to India
in collaboration with WPSI. ‘ACAP India’
is building a high profile multi-media campaign that
is designed to raise awareness about the crisis facing
Indian endangered species such as the tiger, rhino,
elephant, turtle and bear as a result of growing consumer
demand for their body parts and products.
