Read about our impact
We don’t believe in inevitability. We believe in taking action.
We know it is possible to bring endangered species back from the brink. Whooping cranes, Vancouver Island marmot and other species in Canada and around the world survive in the wild in part due to the work of the Wilder Institute. We’ve built our reputation as a global authority on wildlife conservation by protecting species in our own backyard and collaboratively engaging local communities abroad to foster economic solutions that benefit both animals and people.

Conservation Translocations
Species reintroductions are becoming increasingly important tools to stem the extinction crisis. A reintroduction is the deliberate release of an endangered species into the wild, from captivity or relocated from other wild areas, in order to prevent its extinction.
Community Conservation
Community conservation is based on the idea that socio-economic benefits and community engagement can alleviate poverty and improve human welfare while supporting conservation efforts and reducing threats to biodiversity.
