wildlands conservation

GWC scientists and conservationists have, over the last decade, worked with our partners to successfully implement a series of projects targeting threatened species around the globe. These projects are quite literally the last hope for hundreds, if not thousands, of species. In some cases, the species of concern have been declining steadily throughout their range and, without any action, face almost certain extinction over the next few years or decades. In a few instances, only a few months stand between survival and extinction.

The GWC Wildlands Conservation program is focused on preventing these entirely avoidable extinctions through its leadership and the rapid mobilization of resources to protect threatened species in the field. This capacity within GWC is possible due to the vision of like-minded individuals who value the global diversity of species and understand the importance of implementing projects that combine science and pragmatism to thwart further extinctions.

Priority Sites
GWC focuses on the planet’s most biologically important sites for conservation. GWC scientists and colleagues, based on the most recent available data and methodology, have identified many of these sites.

Advisory Land Conservation
GWC provides advisory services for land conservation initiatives. While many private, non-governmental, and governmental organizations have focused on land conservation as a key environmental strategy, most of them lack the knowledge or expertise to set and accomplish globally important targets. GWC helps to advise any private or governmental landowners on the best sites and mechanisms for both immediate, as well as long-term, preservation of biodiversity.
