Endangered Species International is an amazing group that really gets things done out in the field. I applaud their effort and hard work to save endangered animals and their home! Most fund is spent on the field for direct impacts..no wasting resources!

I feel much confident to give to Endangered Species International than other charity groups for the simple reason that less than 2 percent is spent for administrative and fundraising purposes.

I agree with previous reviewers, ESI's website provides very good information on endangered species. No other charities in similar field have quality information like ESI, just check WWF, CI, wildaid, and many others and compare. It is a great tool for education and awareness. Great work too in schools.

I volunteered for 3 charities before including Endangered Species International. I am impressed by the dedication and strong ethics of ESI. They even try to use only solar energy in all their field activities. Most important is that their project are concrete and well integrated in local communities.

Realy dedicated staff. ESI Congolese team works in very hard remote areas in the rainforest of Congo to save endangered gorillas. They have to face malaria and ebola threats. Weather conditions are difficult as well, humid, hot, heavy rain. Saving gorillas from illegal hunting is a very difficult job that requires a lot of dedication and passion for endangered species. Bravo to Endangered Species International!

Endangered Species International has many strengths, but an important one is that staff and volunteers are mostly on the ground knowing the real issues and challenges. Decisions are made from the ground. I can assure that the money spend by ESI is really worth and do better than other charities I have experienced!

A devoted organization with not just a kind heart towards natures and endangered animals but also practice each of their project plan effectively and efficiently. When they are finding ways to improve or implementing their plans to let indigenous people to coexist with their local nature, they always take whatever ideas that don't impact both the nature and the people into account. That's not a easy task but with their passion towards preserving the diversity of ecosystem they manage to overcome whatever difficulty is. Have one more person to care about mother earth is equally to have one more chance for any species to exist.

Happy to give again to Endangered Species International this yea. Great work to save endangered animals and a very different approach than many other charities. Very open minded and working closely with local communities to get the job done!

As a donor to Endangered Species International I visited one of the field site where ESI has a project. I was very impressed by the community involvement. People involved in the project were all dedicated and worked long hours including week-end to protect biodiversity, plant trees, and train people. I really value honestly within NGOs and ESI has been the most honest one that I helped. I will continue to donate and support Endangered Species International for years to come.

I worked with Endangered Species International (ESI) for a project to provide protection of rainforest and providing suistanailble alternatives for the local tribe. ESI is a very transparent and genuine organization. Having work for WWF in the past, I must say that for many good reasons (more efficient, no political games, transparent, passion to save biodiversity..), ESI is a very good charity. It made me happy to work with them for nature...

I joined ESI for s while and i was impressed how they conduct activities. It is amazing to see that donations are really put in good use for endangered aninals, save wild habitat, and help poor communities. They spend less than 1 percent of the budget for administrative and fundraising tasks! I love this charity and they are not corrupted!
