Wildlife Alliance - Direct Protection to Wildlife and Forests

We work directly with communities and governments to improve forest management and institute good governance to comprehensively address the devastation of ecosystems and combat the illegal wildlife trade. Our programs in Southeast Asia and the Russian Far East fight forest crime in high biodiversity areas, and actively promote diversified agriculture, community-based ecotourism, and reforestation. We create economic incentives and build political will within communities to preserve the environment.

We believe that the protection of the world’s wildlife and wild places is both feasible and essential to ensuring that human communities and wildlife survive into the coming millennia. In developing strategies to conserve wildlife and habitats, we look at the entire picture.

It’s not enough to develop initiatives to protect a single species or piece of land outside of the surrounding economic or social context. We take the entire area in which we are working into account, including economics and the needs of local people, and work to develop strategies to help communities and wildlife live together peacefully.

We then empower local people to change their situation by providing alternative jobs to wildlife poaching and habitat destruction to enable locals to preserve their homeland. We also believe that conservation education of local children is an essential component to fostering positive conservation attitudes now and in the future.

1. Protected parks and natural areas require protection from wildlife poachers and illegal plant harvesting.

2. Wildlife trafficking is a multi-billion dollar black market trade, and is dramatically reducing the world's wildlife year after year.

3. Communities often lack sufficient education relating to the importance of wildlife and habitat conservation to their way of life.

4. Rural communities surrounding protected areas are offered legal alternatives to poaching to generate income for themselves and their families
