Reclaim Gift Aid

If you are a UK taxpayer, add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Borneo Nature Foundation to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Borneo Nature Foundation we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Borneo Nature Foundation to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Borneo Nature Foundation will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Borneo Nature Foundation receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

Five wild cat species are endemic to the island of Borneo: the Sunda clouded leopard, Sunda leopard cat, bay cat, marbled cat and flat-headed cat.

Little is known about these animals, but most populations are believed to be in decline due to widespread habitat destruction and poaching.

In response to these threats, we have launched a multi-landscape camera trap project, which will inform conservation actions and shed light on the secret lives of Borneo's beautiful cats.

BNF captured rare video footage of an Endangered bay cat in 2016, which led to the discovery of a new population.

Borneo’s rainforests are rich with biodiversity. However, the biodiversity is increasingly threatened by habitat loss, environmental degradation and poaching. The island’s wild cat species are of particular concern, as they naturally occur at low densities and have received relatively little research or conservation focus to date.

Founded on more than 10 years of camera trap survey data collected in the Sebangau National Park, we have launched our Cameras for Cats campaign to help remedy this situation. We are proposing a new, visible focus on the conservation of wild cats in Indonesian Borneo, including the island’s largest predator, the Sunda clouded leopard, and the endemic bay cat, which is found nowhere else on Earth.

4 of the 5 species of wild cat in Borneo are declining due to human activities, putting them at risk of extinction.

This project runs across three very different and unique landscapes: Barito Ulu, deep in the geographical heart of Borneo; Rungan, which encompasses a sizeable chunk of mostly-intact lowland forest; and the Sebangau National Park, one of the largest peat-swamp forests in the world.

Using camera trap footage, we will determine the distribution of Borneo’s five cat species across multiple landscapes for a comprehensive assessment of their populations and distribution. By evaluating the ways these animals are adapting to human disturbance, we can develop targeted species action plans, which will lead to improved conservation management to directly combat imminent threats to these beautiful animals.

BNF is delighted to partner with Panthera and Re:Wild to make a real difference for the conservation of Borneo’s wild cats. Through research using camera traps, identifying threats and conservation solutions, involving local communities and building a network of partnerships, we will be a driving force for wild cat conservation.
