The WILD Foundation

Part of what makes work with the environment so difficult these days is just how fractured nature has become. So fractured in fact that wild animals have little choice but to take up residence in cities and the very ecological processes that support life on this planet are as threatened as the Earth’s biodiversity. For over 40 years, the WILD Foundation has taken action around the belief that one of the best solutions for people, wildlife, and the planet, is to give nature the space she needs to produce the things life needs most: clean air, clean water, healthy soils, and a stable climate. Nature needs all her parts and processes to continue to function for the benefit of life on Earth, human and wild alike. To that end we facilitate the Nature Needs Half Network, an international movement for the preservation of half the planet’s nature, to advance a solution that permits nature to continue to work on our behalf. We also initiated and facilitate the first continental-scale conservation agreement between Canada, the United States, and Mexico, with the goal of making it easier for our leaders to work across national boundaries in the defense of nature.

When you support The WILD Foundation, you are protecting our planet’s vital wilderness by supporting the partnerships that align the best science with the best leaders. You are saving the last of the Sahel’s elephants in Mali from poachers and landscape degradation; you are advancing protections for marine wilderness along the coast of Mexico, California, and Canada; and you are building momentum for a new generation dedicated to keeping our planet wild. WILD’s work has uniquely pioneered wilderness protection internationally, no small feat given that some languages do not even have a word for “wilderness.” When you give to the WILD Foundation, you ensure a wilder planet, both now and in the future.
