We’re excited to share our 2024 Annual Report, a detailed look at what we managed to do last year, made possible by your support and the brilliant partners we’re lucky to work alongside.
From securing mineral rights in the Florida Everglades to preparing for rhino reintroduction in the vast, untamed landscapes of Kidepo Valley National Park, the report is full of news that shows what can happen when bold ideas meet the right support at the right moment.
One of the biggest milestones of the year was the launch of WildLandscapes East Africa. Built on the same values that guide WildLandscapes International, this new regional team brings deeper reach and local knowledge to the work. With Ian Craig joining the leadership team, we hit the ground running - bringing years of practical experience across land protection, local partnerships, and long-term thinking.
2024 HIGHLIGHTS:
The Green Heart of the Everglades, USA
We got even closer to completing an extraordinarily complex appraisal and will soon have a valuation for 449,689 acres of mineral rights, calculated to the highest federal standards. The next step is fundraising. This landmark effort, in partnership with the Miccosukee and Seminole Tribes of Indians of Florida, is one of our flagship projects, vital for the region's ecological, economic and cultural future.
Bear Hill Conservancy, USA
We facilitated new conservation easements in this remarkable old-growth forest, helping connect wildlife habitat and future public access areas in the Silvio O. Conte National Wildlife Refuge. There are now only a few parcels left, and we're working on securing another neighbouring property, Green Woodlands.
Harney County, Oregon, USA
In collaboration with High Desert Partnership, we helped secure serious funding for their Regional Conservation Partnership Program, a major initiative that unites conservationists and agriculturalists around shared goals for land and water stewardship.
Kidepo Valley National Park, Uganda
We are working with the Uganda Wildlife Authority and the Uganda Conservation Foundation to bring rhinos back to Kidepo, an ambitious, long-term effort to restore these iconic animals to their historical range. At the same time, we’re also addressing human–elephant conflict through a three-pronged approach that supports peaceful coexistence between communities and wildlife.
Ruma National Park, Kenya
Roan antelope are nearly extinct in Kenya, but once, this striking and courageous species thrived here. We are working with the Kenya Wildlife Service to bring them back from the brink, with the right team, the right tools, and the belief that every species matters.
KRRE, Tsavo National Park, Kenya
While our role has evolved into a joint fundraising partnership with The Nature Conservancy and San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, we remain actively involved in efforts to bring rhinos back to the 740,000-acre Intensive Protection Zone of Tsavo West National Park. It’s an ambitious project led by an extraordinary bunch of people, and we are proud to be part of it.
Thanks again to everyone who helped us achieve our goals last year - we came together in so many ways for nature, people and wildlife, and we’re humbled, and inspired, by being part of so many amazing collaborations.
