What We Do
We protect wildlife in wild places, and on private lands in-between, by certifying enterprises that assure people and nature coexist and thrive. Certification ensures the transparency and integrity of our activities.
We harness the power of enterprise to provide incentives for the protection of biodiversity around the world, and offer economic opportunity to people whose basic needs have put them in conflict with wildlife.
We link Wildlife Friendly® products and producers to consumers, enabling powerful brands to differentiate themselves in a crowded and increasingly values-driven marketplace.
We work with businesses of all sizes to build supply chains that protect wildlife, restore ecosystems, and support the people who depend on them. If you are a community enterprise, we help bring recognition and market access to your Wildlife Friendly™ practices. For large companies, we guide your shift toward more regenerative and responsible sourcing. And the magic happens when the two connect, when committed producers and forward-thinking brands come together to shape a future where business and biodiversity thrive side by side.
Certification: Join a global network of certified producers protecting biodiversity through responsible production.
We work to mainstream the concept of Wildlife Friendly® enterprise and products via the Certified Wildlife Friendly® and species-specific (eg Gorilla Friendly™, Jaguar Friendly™, Elephant Friendly™ and other) certifications.
