Our Award winners are the ‘action heroes’ of the conservation world and they need your help. They identify and address threats to wildlife by working with local communities to find mutually beneficial solutions to problems including the loss of natural habitat, overexploitation of wild resources, and human-wildlife conflict. Importantly, our winners are usually nationals of the countries where they work, and by training local people, are creating the next generation of conservation leaders.
“WFN is a direct funding charity that really
does minimise the bits in-between. The funding goes straight to the winners, who have a lasting impact on global, national and political levels”HRH The Princess Royal, Patron
