At WildLandscapes, we work with people who know their landscapes best - communities, conservationists, Indigenous leaders, grassroots organizations, ranchers, local governments - to protect and restore the wild places that matter most. We prioritize practical efforts, where our added skills will make a real difference: unlocking funding, removing roadblocks, and helping shape solutions that work for both people and nature. Once the groundwork is laid and the right systems are in place, we withdraw, leaving long-term protection in the hands of those rooted in the land.

We choose our projects carefully, focusing on globally significant landscapes where biodiversity, climate resilience, and community well-being are tightly intertwined. That often means large, complex places, spanning farms and forests, wetlands and wildlife corridors, national parks and community lands: where the scale of impact is high, but so are the barriers to action. We’re not afraid of risk, and we don’t shy away from difficult work. Whether it’s a land acquisition that’s stalled, a species recovery that needs momentum, or a visionary idea that needs funding to get off the ground, we come in with decades of experience and a wide-angle view.

Identify → Globally significant landscape

Partner → Local communities and conservationists

Unlock → Funding and technical tools

Support → Implementation and scaling

Step back → Leave lasting local ownership

A big part of what we do is make connections between field-based partners and the major funders who can help their ideas take flight. U.S. government agencies and foundations provide billions in conservation funding every year, but for many local organizations, that money is out of reach. They may lack the time, capacity, or relationships needed to secure and manage large-scale public funding. That’s where we come in: we know how to work across borders, sectors, and bureaucracies. We help unlock resources, build trust, and translate big conservation goals into real-world results.

We are always eager to explore new opportunities to collaborate. We welcome prospective partners to reach out and share their projects, visions, and challenges with us. Whether you’re working on conservation, community engagement, or sustainable development, we would love to learn about your goals and discuss how we can support you. Please feel free to contact Elodie on esampere@wildlandscapes.org with details about your project and how you envision us working together to achieve success.
