The International Otter Survival Fund (IOSF) is one of the world's leading otter charities. In the UK IOSF is the only charity solely dedicated to the conservation, protection and care of otters based on 20 years of scientific research in the UK and around the world.
Otter numbers have increased in recent years but there are still only around 8,000 otters in the UK and they remain an endangered species.
Through education, research, influencing policy and partner working the IOSF is making progress but there is still much to be done here in the UK and other countries where otters are at risk.
What do they say about us?
"We have only recently joined Giveacar and already we have received valuable funds for our work.  At this time it is especially hard for charities and so we are very grateful to Giveacar for this opportunity.  Not only does it help us in our otter work but it is also a sound environmental way of getting rid of old cars.  Thanks to everyone involved with Giveacar and those who have donated to the International Otter Survival Fund."
