Since 1989, Wildlife Without Borders has provided over 2,700 grants for international conservation totaling more than $100 million. We have worked with nearly 700 partners in developing countries, who have contributed more than $200 million in matching support for grant projects, tripling the impact of our funding.
Wildlife, fish, and plants do not recognize national boundaries.
Wildlife Without Borders: Working with people to conserve nature.
Conservation of wildlife is a global responsibility, with the survival of species largely dependent on habitats extending beyond national boundaries. With human populations growing – and corresponding increases in development, pollution and consumption of natural resources – the need for international collaboration has never been greater.
Some of the world’s most treasured and exotic animals are dangerously close to extinction. Destruction of natural habitat, illegal poaching, and pet-trade smuggling in parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America are devastating populations of tigers, great apes, elephants, marine turtles and many other cherished species.
If we want to save these species from extinction, we have to work across borders. Through our Wildlife Without Borders program, we are doing just that: helping local people to value and protect the world’s most treasured wildlife and habitats.
Species Programs: We help to conserve some of the world’s most iconic and endangered animals in the habitats that they and other species depend on.
Regional Programs: We build capacity throughout these regions, designing signature initiatives, which bring together key stakeholder groups to solve conservation problems.
The Global Program: We focus on species, ecosystems, and emerging and cross-cutting issues worldwide, to ensure international cooperation to conserve habitats and endangered species.
