The Wilderness Foundation (South Africa), founded in 1972, protects, and sustains African wilderness and wild lands through holistic and integrated conservation, social and education programmes. The Wilderness Foundation has been a pioneer in using wilderness as a positive force for social change in South Africa. To date, we have taken over one hundred thousand political, business and community leaders, as well as historically disadvantaged youth, through our programmes, which allow participants to experience wild nature. Our work in wilderness heals and sustains the human psyche and we have been leaders in the field of creating an understanding of the link between ecosystem health and human well-being.

Wildize Foundation
United StatesAnimals/Wildlife
Africa is the heart of WildiZe Foundation. We have been supporting wildlife conservation and community development projects throughout sub-Saharan Africa for more than a decade and are proud of what we have accomplished. We have seen the positive impacts that can come from a small investment of resources in the right hands. We at WildiZe believe that to truly promote effective conservation, our work needs to be driven by the needs and ideas of the communities we work with, and that any actions taken need to be culturally and ecologically appropriate. We support projects that promote conservation through lifelong education, environmental regeneration, research on and protection of wildlife, sustainable income opportunities, and the application of appropriate agricultural technologies.

As a result of these conservation investments we also create financial benefits for local communities whereby they directly prosper from protecting these areas. Our mandate is to initiate, implement and manage conservation projects and research activities in these areas of ecological importance. We also collaborate with environmental agencies wherein we contribute to established conservation efforts or assist with on-going research projects in already protected areas.
Wildlife Aid

CanadaAnimals/Wildlife
WCS Canada was incorporated as a conservation organization in Canada in July 2004. It implements and supports comprehensive field studies that gather information on wildlife needs and then seeks to resolve key conservation problems by working with a broad array of stakeholders, including local community members, conservation groups, regulatory agencies, and commercial interests. It also provides technical assistance and biological expertise to local groups and agencies that lack the resources to tackle conservation dilemmas. Major issues addressed to date include protected-area design, wildlife monitoring and recovery, ecosystem restoration, integrated landscape management and community-based conservation. WCS Canada is independently registered and managed, while retaining a strong collaborative working relationship with sister WCS programs in more than 55 nations.
Wildlife First
IndiaAnimals/Wildlife
Wildlife First is a science driven conservation organization that has been focusing its effort, since 1995, to save endangered species and remnants of wildlife habitats in the Southern Indian State of Karnataka. Wildlife First believes that if intact wildlife assemblages and endangered species are to survive in the face of rising market-driven demand for biological resources, the central task must be to totally sever all linkages between wildlife reserves and the market. Therefore, Wildlife First advocates a strategy that first arrests and then eliminates the flow of resources from wildlife reserves to local, regional and global markets.
Wildlife For Tomorrow

The Foundation is an independent nonprofit organization that works closely with the Arizona Game and Fish Department to provide additional support for projects and education activities where traditional resources are not adequate.

The Foundation does not participate in or attempt to influence regulatory, management or legislative decisions nor does it take a position on controversial or value-sensitive issues. Its single purpose is to support important and worthy projects that make a difference to the wildlife and people of Arizona.

Wildlife Friends of Thailand
ThailandAnimals/Wildlife
The Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) is currently running several projects from hands-on wildlife rescue, medical care, wildlife rehabilitation, research on wildlife and marine mammals as well as the release of wild animals back to the wild. Our goal in the first place is to provide a safe shelter for abused and neglected wild animals. We aim to rescue those animals who have suffered at the hands of humans, rehabilitating and releasing where possible, and caring for those who are unable to be returned to the wild. We aim to provide the best standard of living and a life as close to wild as possible for these animals. The Wildlife Rescue centre is build on temple land; the abbot of the Kao Look Chang temple has generously given us a huge plot of forest for the animals to live in.

We have also been an important catalyst of many groundbreaking habitat conservation initiatives, such as Carolinian Canada, and the North American Waterfowl Management Plan.
Wildlife Habitat Protection Trust
United KingdomAnimals/Wildlife
The Wildlife Habitat Protection Trust was established in 2006. We are a registered charity and our work involves working closely with local communities and wider audiences to establish develop and maintain natural conservation areas. Many wildlife habitats and natural areas are fast disappearing as more and more land is reclaimed for agriculture and commercial development; development of these areas has led to the destruction of natural habitats and breeding grounds of many wildlife species. As a result of this, the existence of certain species of birds and animals are now threatened, thus highlighting the importance of such conservation projects. Conservation is now of major importance with many species of birds and animals that were once common in this Country, becoming quite scarce. If action is not taken to protect breeding grounds and habitats of our less frequently seen species, wildlife that we take for granted now will become a rare sight in years to come. The Old Park Plantation provides us with a great opportunity to secure a safe haven and breeding ground for a wide variety of wildlife.
Wildlife Habitat Trust
United KingdomAnimals/Wildlife
The Wildlife Habitat Trust (WHT) was set up in 1986 by members of the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC).

Our Society was formed in 1909 with a commitment to preserve and protect our unique Australian wildlife in all its forms. We are one of the oldest conservation societies in Australia and probably one of the oldest in the world. Given that Australia is a land where environmental health and land use is governed by water supply, the aims of wildlife conservation cannot be separated from and must be integrated with plans for land management generally.
