Let your passion live on. Remember EIA in your Will.
Gifts in Wills are vital for us to continue our work to protect the planet and fight against environmental crime and abuse. After you’ve taken care of your loved ones, even a small amount can make a huge impact, and it’s easier than you might think!
When you think about what’s happening in the world, it can be depressing. Climate change, deforestation, plastic in the oceans, whaling, tiger farming, elephants killed for their ivory. So why wouldn’t you support an organisation that you know is going to continue to fight for justice, for endangered animals, for the oceans, for the forests, for the air we breathe? That’s why I’m leaving a legacy in my Will to EIA. I want them to continue their brilliant work. EIA represents hope for the future.

Why leaving a gift in your Will matters
Since 1984 we have been at the forefront of tackling wildlife and environmental crime and abuse. The scale of the problems we face can be disheartening. The truths we uncover can be shocking. Our programmes of work build on decades of nail-biting undercover investigations by a small group of tenacious activists and result in hard-hitting campaigns targeted at those who can make a difference. A gift to EIA in your Will is an investment in wildlife and habitat conservation for generations to come. Together we have already achieved so much, but we must keep the pressure on to:
Secure the future of beautiful and endangered species including elephants, Asian big cats and pangolins from the threats of transnational wildlife crime.
Protect pristine forests from illegal logging and the aggressive exploitation of natural resources.
Safeguard global marine ecosystems from man-made threats to marine wildlife.
Reduce the impact of climate change by eliminating powerful greenhouse gases.
Tackle plastic pollution in the UK and globally.
As one of EIA's founders, Jennifer Lonsdale is able to reflect on the enduring legacy of environmental organisations like no other.
It’s been 40 years of constant challenge. Particularly depressing is the ruthless exploitation by insidious environmental criminals who care only about their greedy, destructive short-term profits. In contrast, it is humbling to know that some people have supported us since the 1990s and with such loyal supporters on our side, we owe it to them to be here for the long run even after they're gone, thanks to legacy gifts.

I wanted to leave a gift in my Will to EIA as, for a very small organisation, it carries out such vitally important work particularly on the environmental front which many others miss out. The ground-breaking reports that they produce (sometimes carrying out very dangerous undercover work) helps put pressure on governments around the world to clean up their acts.
