The Kenya Wildlife Service has received five new Land Cruisers from WildLandscapes International and Re:wild, through Tsavo Trust, to boost anti-poaching patrols and protect endangered species. This vital support was made possible thanks to the generosity of our supporter, David Roby of Bear Hill Conservancy Trust.
Over two months on the ground in Tsavo, I witnessed firsthand how community-driven conservation is shaping Kenya’s future. From working with the dedicated Tsavo Trust team to engaging with women and youth leading change at Kamungi Conservancy, my experience offered powerful lessons on balance, resilience, and the importance of people as partners in protecting wildlife. In this blog, I reflect on how my time in Tsavo has shaped my approach to conservation at WildLandscapes East Africa and reaffirmed my commitment to building landscapes where both people and nature thrive.
We’re thrilled to be partnering with Tsavo Trust to support conservation in one of Kenya’s most iconic landscapes. Their work combines aerial patrols, rhino monitoring, and community engagement to protect Tsavo’s black rhinos, Super Tuskers, and more. With our support, they’ve expanded field operations, strengthened community ties, and received new patrol vehicles to help safeguard this critical ecosystem. It’s grounded, effective work, and we’re proud to play a part.
David Houghton, our Founder and CEO, reflects on why scale has always been central to WildLandscapes’ mission, from the Everglades to East Africa. In this post, he explores how large, connected landscapes support both people and biodiversity, and why meaningful conservation must offer more than it takes.
Catch up on everything we’ve been doing in the second quarter of 2025 - it’s been busy!
Our 2024 Annual Report is out - and it’s filled with news from the many and varied wild landscapes we were proud to help protect in 2024, all around the world.
What does it take to restore a landscape? Sometimes, it starts with something as small as a biting fly - or a chicken. In Uganda’s Kidepo Valley, we’re working with the Platcorp Foundation on two projects that are making a real difference for both wildlife and local communities. It’s a partnership rooted in shared values and a long-term vision, where practical (and unexpected) solutions meet ambitious goals.
The Green Heart Gala was an unforgettable evening of conservation, community, and commitment to protecting the Everglades. With passionate advocates, conservation leaders, and generous supporters gathered under one roof, the event raised over $120,000 to safeguard this vital ecosystem. From an exciting live auction to inspiring speeches, the night showcased the power of collective action. Thanks to our sponsors, partners, and attendees, we are one step closer to securing a future for the land, water, and wildlife of the Everglades.
Rhinos are set to return to Kidepo Valley National Park after decades of absence. Led by the Uganda Wildlife Authority, Uganda Conservation Foundation and others, a 17,050-acre sanctuary is under construction to safely reintroduce 40 rhinos . Beyond conservation, this initiative will restore Kidepo’s ecosystem, boost biodiversity, and create sustainable ecotourism opportunities for local communities. WildLandscapes International is proud to support this historic effort - ensuring a future where rhinos once again roam free in Uganda.
As we close another remarkable year, we reflect on the milestones, challenges, and stories that have shaped our journey in 2024. This year has been a testament to the power of collaboration and the enduring commitment to safeguarding our planet’s most precious landscapes.
We’re taking a moment to celebrate the people, projects, and progress that have defined the past year - and looking ahead to the exciting opportunities and challenges of 2025. Thank you for being an essential part of our mission.
