Alongside their global conservation partners, the Wildlife Conservation Network supports conservationists by funding conservation projects across Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Eastern Europe.
In 2017, the charity launched its Lion Recovery Fund to offer financial support to conservationists dedicated to tackling the threats facing lion populations globally.
They do this by removing snares and intercepting poaching efforts, mitigating human-lion conflict in local communities, and protecting lion migratory corridors from being destroyed.
Why them?
The Wildlife Conservation Trust has a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator. According to their financial report, the charity spent 94% of its expenditure on program grants and services, and 1% on fundraising.
Their Lion Recovery Fund has now invested $19 million to support 158 lion conservation projects in 21 countries. They have also invested $1.5 million in grants for new startup conservation organizations, including Conserve which is an ambitious initiative to expand and secure the wild places across Africa. In 2021, the charity removed 64,801 snares from critical lion habitat and confiscated 102,586lbs of illegal bushmeat.
Pretty Impressive right?
