Our mission
BREWING GOODNESS FOR A BETTER PLANET
At Fauna Brewing, we are mad about beer and crazy for conservation. It is the core of who we are. We brew with purpose, and choose a different wildlife conservation cause to support for each beer we brew.
David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation
The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation is a charity that works to protect endangered species and their habitats. They have been working since 1984 to safeguard a green future, for both humans and wildlife.
The foundation is fighting to protect eight iconic species from extinction: the African elephant, the tiger, the lion, the snow leopard, the chimpanzee, the painted dog, the rhino, and the pangolin. They are also working to protect pristine wildernesses for these animals to thrive in.
With conservation partners on the ground, pursuing legal changes and protection on the international political stage. They have provided an unwavering voice for wildlife conservation from grassroots to the world stage.
DSWF is a leading organisation in the field of wildlife conservation. They have a proven track record of success, and they are committed to making a difference. DSWF is a valuable organisation that is making a real difference for wildlife conservation.
We are proud to be supporting The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation, by choosing Fauna, you too can help to protect endangered species and their habitats for future generations.
SO FAR, WE HAVE HELPED TO RAISE
conservation at home
From the start we have engaged with sustainable and regenerative practices, beginning by ensuring all of our packaging is plastic free and recyclable. We are now eliminating brewing waste, by giving spent grain to feed local cows. We plant 100 wildflower seeds or a tree sapling for every sale of Meadow Maker golden ale or Tree Planter IPA. Wildflower meadows are a highly effective method of carbon capture. We have already begun to plant on site, just behind our Brewery and Taproom. Our next aim is a fruit tree Orchard. We are working with the Norfolk Estate who have farmland around Arundel, all of which is less than 3 miles from the brewery. Our goal is to use their malting barley, reducing travel emissions for this vital brewing ingredient. Through crop rotation, the cattle who will have been fed the spent grain, will then graze in that same field, fertilising the soil, closing the loop and creating a regenerative malting practice.
OUR CHARITIES
It is also essential to us that your funds go to the right causes, which is why we carefully select each incredible partner ourselves. We only choose charities who we believe are making a real difference to the conservation scene.
Re-introducing the Red Squirrel
RSST are leading invaluable grey squirrel fertility research work. This research is a promising development in the fight to save red squirrels in the British Isles. The contraceptive could help to reduce the competition for food between red and grey squirrels, which has led to the decline of the native red squirrel population. We are working with RSST to bring the red squirrel back to Sussex.

Natural protection for livestock
Thanks to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, we have covered the cost for the support and care of two livestock guard dogs. These dogs are placed with local farmers and are trained to scare away wild predators, such as Cheetahs, reducing the level of human-animal conflict by an incredible 90%.

Anti poaching
We have also funded 100km of anti-poaching patrols in the Zimbabwean wilderness in partnership with the Painted Dog Conservation Fund.

Re-wilding the rare pangolin
Pangolins are the most work to preserve the exquisite species in any way possible. We have paid for a satellite tracker through the African Pangolin Working Group, which allows the re-introduced pangolin to be properly monitored so that its rehabilitation back into the wild is as successful as possible.
