About Us

The Wilder Institute is a leading authority on wildlife conservation, reintroducing threatened species to the wild and empowering communities to conserve their own natural resources to positively impact nature and people.

The Wilder Institute collaborates with local and global partners to develop science-based solutions that help wildlife and people. We aim to make a difference by working with landowners, local communities, researchers, and other conservation organizations around the world. We engage with governments to develop policies and practices that can yield scalable benefits on national and international levels. Our efforts to help endangered species, restore ecosystems, and improve human livelihood are simply trying to make the world a better place. Our past successes give us the confidence to take on any challenges in the future. We know that conservation works, and we see immense hope when people join forces to make a difference. Together, we know that we can restore balance for wildlife and human life for generations to come.

Ready to be wilder? Every animal we release and every community we work to support begins with you. We are creating a new future for wildlife and people by bringing together the tools, resources, and expertise for successful conservation in Canada and around the world. Few of us will ever have a chance to alter the course of history. But together, we might just be able to. Let’s make the world a wilder place, together.
