PROTECTING A THREATENED SPECIES ACROSS ITS ENTIRE RANGE
Our Wildlife Funds offer flexible grants to projects in order to protect threatened species across their habitats. The Wildlife Funds invest in effective projects from a wide range of organizations, kickstarting new approaches and bolstering tried and true conservation efforts. Each fund amplifies donor support by combining contributions, allowing for the biggest impact possible.
In addition to our Wildlife Funds, WCN’s Emergency Relief Fund supports conservationists, wildlife, and communities in times of crisis.
100% of donations to our Funds go directly to the field, with zero overhead removed.

The ECF is a joint initiative of Save the Elephants and WCN.
Lion populations have declined by half in just a quarter century. But, lions can return. The Lion Recovery Fund (LRF) was created by WCN to give conservationists the support they need to address the biggest threats to lions.
The LRF invests in projects designed to:
Lion recovery is within our grasp.
Pangolins are the most illegally trafficked wild mammals on Earth. They are hunted to supply a rampant and illegal global trade of their scales, meat, and body parts. Because of demand—mostly in Asia, but also growing across Africa—all eight species of pangolins are threatened with extinction.
The Pangolin Crisis Fund (PCF) was created by Save Pangolins and WCN to invest in the best initiatives to:
Thousands of African rhinos have been killed for their horns, which are prized for false medicinal purposes and as status symbols, and Asian rhinos have dwindled to near extinction. Additionally, rhinos are losing their habitat to unsustainable development. But there is still hope for rhinos.
The Rhino Recovery Fund has two primary investment strategies:

Pumas are a cornerstone of a robust wild California. While they can live across a wide range of landscapes, their habitat is fragmented by urban sprawl and other human development. The pumas’ fragmented habitat must be restored and connected to maintain healthy wildlife populations.
WCN’s California Wildlife Program (CWP) aims to restore and connect fragmented habitat, benefiting pumas and other wildlife throughout California.
When emergency crises generate devastating health, social, economic, and political challenges, they often also lead to increased pressure on wildlife and natural resources, disruptions in fundraising for conservationists, and destabilization of security for communities.
WCN’s Emergency Relief Fund (ERF) supports conservationists, wildlife, and communities to turn crisis into an opportunity to respond.
