WCN’s Conservation Partners are committed to protecting endangered species and helping wildlife and people to coexist.
Protecting WildlifeKenya is home to less than 2000 lions. In Northern Kenya, outside protected areas, lions and people are learning to coexist.
The Ethiopian wolf is the rarest and most endangered canid in the world.
Macaws are renowned for their beauty, intelligence, and charisma, yet due to their slow reproductive rate very few remain in the wild.
The Andean cat is one of the rarest and least known cats in the world; fewer than 3,000 exist in the mountains of South America.
Spectacled bears, also known as Andean bears, are the only bear species in all of South America.
Botswana provides a home for approximately 30% of the earth’s remaining 7,100 cheetahs, it is the only country where their population remains stable.
Elephants are among the world’s most intelligent, sensitive and social animals, possessing both empathy and family values.
Marine mammals play important ecological roles as both predator and prey, but unfortunately, marine mammals in Malaysia are threatened by over-fishing, by-catch, boat traffic, plastic pollution, and noise pollution.
Cheetahs are famous for their speed and agility but are also one of Africa’s most endangered big cats.
Most people are familiar with big cats, but few could name the 33 species of small wild cats living all around the world.
Grey Crowned Cranes are a symbol of longevity, but unfortunately are threatened by habitat loss and the illegal wildlife trade.
The gentle, mysterious okapi live only in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and though they appear to be half-zebra they are actually the closest relative of the giraffe.
Less than 2,500 Grevy’s zebra exist today; these special animals are distinguishable from other zebras by their larger size and round “Mickey Mouse” ears.
Niassa National Reserve in Mozambique is one of the last great wild places on Earth and one of the important remaining strongholds for the African lion.
The saiga antelope has been around since the Ice Age and once numbered in the millions; today only 40,000 survive.
Sharks and rays are essential for healthy oceans, but are vulnerable to human threats like pollution, climate change, and overfishing.
The strikingly beautiful but endangered snow leopard remains one of the world’s most mysterious and rarely seen cats.
There are 18 different penguin species living throughout the Southern Hemisphere, 55% of which are listed as threatened.
The tiny cotton-top, which weighs less than a pound, are found only in northwestern Colombia and are one of the most endangered primates in the world.
Gorillas are strong and social beings, yet they face threats from habitat degradation and disease transmission.
Orangutans play a critical role in keeping forests healthy, but are Critically Endangered due to habitat loss and their low reproductive rate.
A devastating poaching epidemic driven by the ivory trade is threatening elephants. Scientists, conservation organizations, and governments have united behind a common strategy to end this crisis. We must stop the killing of elephants, stop the trafficking of ivory, and stop ivory demand. The Elephant Crisis Fund exists to fuel this coalition, with just one goal: to end the ivory crisis and sure a future for elephants.
Lions are in crisis. In just 25 years, lion populations have declined by half. But, lions can return. The Lion Recovery Fund invests in the most innovative and effective projects aimed at recovering lions—backing several key tactics such as supporting the parks and reserves that serve as lion strongholds and promoting coexistence so that people can live alongside and benefit from lions. The LRF aims to protect lions and their landscapes, ensuring the King of Beasts can thrive across Africa.
Pangolins have the unfortunate distinction of being the most illegally trafficked wild mammal in the world. All eight species of pangolins are threatened with extinction. But it’s not too late to save pangolins. The Pangolin Crisis Fund invests in the best projects to stop the poaching of pangolins, stop the trade and demand for pangolin products, and raise the profile of this little-known animal.
Despite their powerful physical presence, rhinos are incredibly vulnerable to human-induced threats. Asia’s three rhino species have dwindled to distressingly small populations due to habitat loss. In Africa, white and black rhino populations also struggle with habitat loss and are brutally poached for their horns. WCN created the Rhino Recovery Fund (RRF) to help protect all rhino species from wildlife crime and restore their landscapes, focusing on improving the health of rhino populations while also benefiting local people.
