Mission
WILD LANDSCAPES, INC. (WLI) IS DEDICATED TO CONSERVING LARGE AND CONNECTED LANDSCAPES GLOBALLY SIGNIFICANT TO WILDLIFE AND CRUCIAL TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES. OUR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION STRATEGY IS TO EMPOWER COMMUNITIES, CONSERVATIONISTS, INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, RANCHERS, FORESTERS, FISHERFOLK, AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO PROTECT HABITATS FOR WIDE-RANGING WILDLIFE. TO MEET THE CHALLENGES OF SCALE AND COMPLEXITY, WLI IS SCIENCE- BASED, COLLABORATIVE, EFFICIENT, AND ENTREPRENEURIAL.
Program accomplishments
- WILD LANDSCAPES INC. (WLI) IS COMMITTED TO THE PRESERVATION OF EXPANSIVE, ECOLOGICALLY SIGNIFICANT LANDSCAPES THAT PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN BOTH WILDLIFE CONSERVATION AND THE WELL-BEING OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES. OUR CONSERVATION APPROACH CENTERS ON EMPOWERING A DIVERSE SPECTRUM OF STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING COMMUNITIES, CONSERVATIONISTS, INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, RANCHERS, FORESTERS, FISHERFOLK, AND GOVERNMENT ENTITIES, TO SAFEGUARD HABITATS CRITICAL FOR A WIDE ARRAY OF WILDLIFE. OUR STRATEGY IS FIRMLY GROUNDED IN SCIENCE, FOSTERING COLLABORATION, OPTIMIZING EFFICIENCY, AND DISPLAYING ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT TO ADDRESS THE FORMIDABLE CHALLENGES OF SCALE AND COMPLEXITY. 2024 ACTIVITIES INCLUDED: THE GREEN HEART OF THE EVERGLADES, FLORIDA, USA: THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO FACILITATE THE ACQUIREMENT OF THE GAS, OIL AND MINERAL RIGHTS BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF EVERGLADES WETLANDS.IN FLORIDA, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MICCOSUKEE AND SEMINOLE TRIBES OF INDIANS OF FLORIDA, CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND LOCAL ADVOCATES. STOPPING FOSSIL FUEL EXPLORATION IN THIS PART OF THE EVERGLADES IS CRUCIAL TO PROTECTING ITS ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY, SAFEGUARDING A VITAL WATER SOURCE FOR MILLIONS, AND RESTORING INDIGENOUS STEWARDSHIP. IT ALSO HELPS PREVENT INDUSTRIAL RISKS THAT COULD THREATEN FLORIDA'S REAL ESTATE, TOURISM, AND LONG-TERM ECONOMIC STABILITY. THE ORGANIZATION, WITH ITS PARTNERS, HAS BEEN WORKING TO PROTECT, RESTORE, AND REUNIFY THIS VITAL LAND SINCE 2022 AND IS WORKING TO SECURE THE FUNDING NEEDED TO FINALIZE THE ACQUISITION BY 2026. BEAR HILL, NEW HAMPSHIRE, USA: THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT TO SAFEGUARD A THRIVING APPALACHIAN COVE FOREST WITHIN ONE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE'S LARGEST REMAINING WILD LANDSCAPES - PROTECTING KEY WILDLIFE CORRIDORS AND HONORING THE REGION'S RICH ECOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL LEGACY. BEAR HILL REPRESENTS ONE OF THE NORTHEAST'S GREAT CONSERVATION OPPORTUNITIES: A BIOLOGICALLY RICH, HISTORICALLY LAYERED FOREST WHERE LOCAL COMMUNITIES, PRIVATE PHILANTHROPY, AND FEDERAL AGENCIES ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO ENSURE LASTING PROTECTION, ACCESS, AND ECOLOGICAL HEALTH ALONG THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL. CONSERVATION PARTNERSHIPS, OREGON, USA: THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO BUILD ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC DURABILITY ACROSS HARNEY COUNTY THROUGH LANDSCAPE-SCALE CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION. HARNEY COUNTY'S SAGEBRUSH STEPPE AND FLOOD-IRRIGATED HAY MEADOWS ARE VITAL TO WILDLIFE,AGRICULTURE, AND THE PACIFIC FLYWAY. THESE WORKING WETLANDS RECHARGE GROUNDWATER, SUSTAIN STREAM HEALTH, AND PROVIDE CRITICAL FORAGE AND HABITAT- ESPECIALLY FOR MIGRATING WATERFOWL AND THE DECLINING GREATER SAGE-GROUSE. DROUGHT, FIRE, AND INVASIVE SPECIES THREATEN THIS LANDSCAPE, MAKING ITS PROTECTION ESSENTIAL TO CLIMATE RESILIENCE ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN. A BROAD COALITION OF LOCAL, FEDERAL, AND NONPROFIT PARTNERS CAME TOGETHER TO DESIGN A SOLUTION- DRAWING ON THE USDA'S REGIONAL CONSERVATION PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM (RCPP), A NATIONAL MODEL OR COLLABORATIVE, LOCALLY LED CONSERVATION. THIS RCPP INITIATIVE IS TAILORED SPECIFICALLY TO ADDRESS THE ENTIRE REGION'S WATER, WILDLIFE, AND WILDFIRE CHALLENGES. THE PLAN IS AMBITIOUS WITH WORK UNFOLDING IN PHASES OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. KIDEPO RHINOS, UGANDA: THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO BRING BACK FREE-RANGING RHINO TO THE KIDEPO VALLEY NATIONAL PARK. KIDEPO IS MISSING THIS ESSENTIAL MEMBER OF ITS LANDSCAPE - AND HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS. THIS PROJECT WILL RESTORE BALANCE TO ONE OF UGANDA'S MOST ICONIC NATIONAL PARKS, AND IN SO DOING, WILL HELP PROMOTE THE PARK AS A PRIME DESTINATION FOR BOTH LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL GUESTS. IN 2024, MOMENTUM GREW AROUND THE KIDEPO RHINO REINTRODUCTION PROJECT, WHICH BEGAN IN 2022. PLANS TOOK SHAPE FOR A 17,000 -ACRE FENCED SANCTUARY IN THE NARUS VALLEY, DESIGNED AS A SAFE HAVEN WHERE THE FIRST RHINOS COULD SETTLE BEFORE EVENTUALLY ROAMING FREELY ACROSS THE PARK. INITIALLY, A SMALL NUMBER OF WHITE RHINOS, IDEAL "ICE BREAKERS" FOR THE PROJECT, BEING EASIER TO MANAGE AND SOMEWHAT HARDIER, WILL BE INTRODUCED. THESE WILL BE BROUGHT IN ON A PHASED BASIS, WITH GROUPS ARRIVING EVERY TWO YEARS AND LATER BEING RELEASED INTO THE WIDER PARK, MONITORED USING THE MOST MODERN TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE. ONCE THE NECESSARY MANAGEMENT CAPACITY IS IN PLACE, BLACK RHINOS WILL BE INTRODUCED. KIDEPO ELEPHANTS, UGANDA: THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO ENSURE THAT ELEPHANTS AND PEOPLE CAN SHARE THE LANDSCAPE IN PEACE SO BOTH HUMANS AND ELEPHANTS CAN FLOURISH IN PERPETUITY. AT THE HEART OF THE ISSUE IS A SIMPLE TRUTH: ELEPHANTS ARE CREATURES OF HABIT. THEY FOLLOW ANCIENT MIGRATION ROUTES, THEIR MOVEMENTS GUIDED BY INSTINCTS PASSED DOWN FOR GENERATIONS. BUT THOSE SAME PATHS NOW CUT THROUGH FARMLAND, LEADING TO INEVITABLE CLASHES BETWEEN PEOPLE TRYING TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES AND ELEPHANTS SIMPLY FOLLOWING THE CALL OF THE LAND. THE RUMA ROANS, WESTERN KENYA: THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO RESTORE THRIVING, FREE-RANGING POPULATIONS OF ROAN ANTELOPE IN KENYA. KENYA'S ROAN ANTELOPE ARE ON THE BRINK OF LOCAL EXTINCTION. BRINGING THEM BACK IS A POWERFUL CONSERVATION STATEMENT - AND A MODEL FOR FUTURE SPECIES RESTORATION. RUMA NATIONAL PARK, IN WESTERN KENYA NEAR LAKE VICTORIA, IS THE COUNTRY'S LAST REFUGE FOR ONE OF AFRICA'S MOST ICONIC ANTELOPE: THE ROAN. ONCE RANGING WIDELY ACROSS KENYA'S GRASSLANDS AND WOODLANDS, LOCAL ROAN POPULATIONS HAVE COLLAPSED DUE TO DECADES OF POACHING, HABITAT DEGRADATION, DISEASE, AND COMPETITION WITH LIVESTOCK. BY 2019, JUST 19 INDIVIDUALS REMAINED. TOWARDS THE END OF 2024, THE ORGANIZATION WORKED CLOSELY WITH KENYA WILDLIFE SERVICE AND OTHER PARTNERS TO STRENGTHEN THE ECOLOGICAL AND MANAGEMENT FOUNDATIONS NEEDED FOR THE ROAN'S RECOVERY. A CENTRAL FOCUS WAS HABITAT MANAGEMENT - INCLUDING A TARGETED PROGRAM OF MECHANICAL GRASS CUTTING AND CONTROLLED BURNING. THESE ACTIONS PROMOTE THE FRESH, NUTRITIOUS REGROWTH PREFERRED BY ROAN AND HELP KEEP RUMA'S GRASSLANDS OPEN AND HEALTHY.Expenses $2,221,962 · grants $106,965
