The Aspinall Foundation is the charity which manages Howletts and Port Lympne Wild Animal Parks, it is funded solely from charitable donations. World leaders in conservation - The Aspinall Foundation working in conjunction with the parks have so far returned to the wild Przewalski's horses, black rhino, Sumatran rhino, Cape buffalo, ocelots, pythons and gorillas. Donations to The Aspinall Foundation goes towards our vital conservation work here and abroad, including our gorilla rescue and rehabilitation projects in Africa.
