Wildlife Protection,
Co-existence,
and Connectivity

We support organizations that tackle the challenges of wildlife movement and habitat protection since both are crucial in the search for food, mates, and favorable living conditions. Interventions such as constructing underpasses, overpasses, and wildlife-friendly fencing are essential to ensure safe pathways for wildlife, minimize human-wildlife conflicts, and preserve critical migration routes.

We fund innovative solutions to alleviate conflicts between humans and wildlife. Examples include optimal food storage to prevent wildlife habituation to humans, actions to deter predator conflicts with livestock, championing ropeless fishing gear to prevent marine mammal entanglements, and shipping lane speed controls to avoid collisions with marine mammals and reduce pollution.

We invest in public education initiatives that raise awareness about the importance of coexistence with wildlife and the impacts of human actions on wildlife. Educating the public about the significance of responsible practices and wildlife protection is fundamental to fostering a culture of respect for the natural world.

We recognize the value of protecting specific species that are either endangered, serve as keystone species with significant ecological roles, or are culturally relevant to Indigenous communities. Through these efforts, we aim to preserve biodiversity and ecological balance.
