Rising Wildlife Leaders

HELPING CONSERVATIONISTS THRIVE

RISING WILDLIFE LEADERS

WCN helps local conservationists grow and thrive so that they have the support they need to protect wildlife. We invest in these brave women and men to strengthen their skills, build their organizations, and advance their careers in conservation. Through scholarships and grants, we provide support to the local people who are shaping conservation in their home countries, ensuring we have a greater and more sustainable impact for wildlife.

100% of donations to our Scholarship and Career Programs go directly to those programs, with zero overhead removed.
