We persist so that nature prevails

You are needed in the defense of Earth’s remaining wild places.

Did you know that it is still possible to end the Sixth Mass Extinction? Scientists inform us that if we set enough protected area aside in the next 10 – 30 years we can save most life on Earth, and take a crucial step toward halting climate change.

Wilderness is life’s home. It is the cradle of human identity and the green engine that sustains all life on Earth. It produces the oxygen in the air we breathe and the nutrients in food we eat and the water we drink. When we grow tired, it is the place to which we return to regenerate our spirits.

When you give to WILD you help protect the processes that sustain life everywhere by expanding and strengthening powerful leadership for the defense of our wild world.

Be a part of the historic effort to keep Earth wild. Give to the WILD Foundation and be a part of 40 year old conservation commitment that persists to this day so that nature will prevail.
