Our Values

Since we began in 2002, we have grown in size and impact but our values remain the same. Learn more below and read our code of ethics.

Impact

We focus on measurable results. We use data, metrics, facts, and feedback to inform our decisions, push us toward improvement, and inspire innovation so that we have the greatest impact for wildlife.

Integrity

We honor our donors’ investments with financial transparency, accountability, and efficiency. We conduct our work with honesty and we follow through on our commitments.

Community

We cultivate a community of people working together to save wildlife. We build relationships based on mutual respect, trust, and empathy.

Service

We listen to the needs of conservationists, donors, local communities, and our staff. We give support generously—focusing on abundance rather than scarcity—and go the extra mile to exceed expectations.

Collaboration

We believe everyone has something to offer, so we embrace diverse and inclusive approaches to conservation. We succeed through partnership, rather than ownership, because we are stronger when we do not focus on who gets the credit.

Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

WCN believes conservation is most impactful when led at the local level, with particular attention to those who have historically been underrepresented—especially women, Black, Indigenous, and people of color. We are committed to applying diverse, equitable, and inclusive approaches to our conservation work and recognize that this is a continuous journey that requires ongoing effort; we are committed to learning and growing as we go and to challenging ourselves to improve every step of the way. Everyone is assured of the right to equitable, fair, and respectful treatment.
