WORKING TOGETHER TO BRING COMPASSION BACK TO CONSERVATION
COLLABORATIONS
Verify Humanity works with other compassionate organisations and individuals to increase knowledge and understanding about wildlife issues, improve wildlife conservation techniques, and protect the well-being of all animals. Together we also influence policy, approaches and attitudes concerning conservation techniques.
​
Our volunteers are a creative and dedicated group of conservationists. We can bring social media, design, research, writing, and management skills to the table.

If you're interested in partnering with us on one of our projects, or one of yours, please email us at info@verifyhumanity.org
Verify Humanity signs open letter to reset environmental policy
Verify Humanity have joined Chris Hinchliff MP and over 35 environmental and conservation organisations in demanding a reset to UK Governmental environmental policy that avoids crossing red lines for nature.
Verify Humanity founder, Kate Fox, signed the open letter to Defra Secretary of State Emma Reynolds which outlined declining biodiversity in the UK and the government’s contribution to this despite the manifesto pledges they were elected upon.
Signatories of the letter are urging the UK government to adopt policies to avoid crossing red lines for nature. These include:
-
No further weakening of environmental protections
-
No funding cuts to environmental bodies
-
No more collapsing biodiversity: achieved through fully funded nature rescue plans to meet recovery targets, including increased support for nature-friendly farming and private sector nature markets.
Catholic concern for animals
​A big thank you to Catholic Concern for Animals who we have worked together with to raise the profile of bear bile farming in Vietnam from both a cruelty and conservation perspective.
They published an article in their magazine by Kate Fox, our founder, called "could catholic outrage at criminals free boo the bear?" For a detailed insight into the Boo the Bear project, why not watch our shared podcast on Catholic Concern for Animals Youtube channel. Sharing the findings of our undercover investigation to a wide audience has helped to garner more attention and support for the bears. ​​​​​​
CERTIFIED SUSTAINABLE PALM OIL (CSPO) ALLIANCE
We have teamed up with 95 conservation organisations to increase knowledge about the devastating consequences of unsustainable palm oil production for 193 IUCN Red List animals and their habitats.
We also want to make it easier for customers to spot Certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) products, and make it more difficult for producers to hide their method of palm oil production. ​​​​​​​​​​​​

anti-hunt collaboration
In preparation for the government consultation on hunting legislation later this year, The New Hunting Ban has been formed to determine the necessary legislative changes required for a real end to hunting with hounds.
Verify Humanity is pleased to be on the advisory board (known as Change Network) for The New Hunting Ban and is working in collaboration with other organisations and parties.
