Policy and Research:
WILD’s policy work and research is conducted through the
Wild Planet Project (WPP), an initiative launched by WILD at
the 8th World Wilderness Congress (8th WWC) in 2005. WPP is
managed by WILD, and implemented with a range of partners
around the world. Its objective is to mobilize the global
wilderness community around the following three tasks:
1. Assembling the most up to date
information on wilderness:
a. How much wilderness do we have left on
our planet?
b. What are the benefits of protecting wilderness?
c. What are the available policy mechanisms for designating
wilderness protected areas? and;
d. How do you manage wilderness protected areas?
2. Developing new policy and management
tools;
3. Directing these tools and information
to the field to help establish new wilderness areas, and to
improve the management of existing wilderness areas.

WPP’s current projects.
