Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Our mission is to protect vital areas of our natural world for the benefit of wildlife, habitats, and people by inspiring collaborative action. Our vision is a world where wildlife flourishes in healthy ecosystems that sustain us all.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Wild Earth Allies protects vital areas of our natural world for the benefit of wildlife, habitats, and people by inspiring collaborative action. We believe investing in locally led conservation is key to turning the tide of biodiversity loss globally.

  • Africa: We partner with Primate Expertise in the Democratic Republic of the Congo on community-based conservation in/around Kahuzi-Biega National Park and on Idjwi Island in Lake Kivu. In Rwanda we build household rainwater tanks and reduce pressures on mountain gorilla habitat with the women-led cooperative Imbereheza Gahunga. In Cameroon we advance community conservation with partner ACDEF in/ around Dja Biosphere Reserve. Key 2022 achievements include: 1) Recorded 10% population growth of critically endangered Grauer's gorillas in DRC park project area since 2017; 2) Grew more than 44,000 Ape Trees from seeds collected from ape dung; restored 494 acres of forest and provided fruit, medicine, and fuelwood for local use in DRC; 3) Constructed 509 rainwater harvest tanks in Rwanda, improving health and well-being of 3,500+ people and decreasing pressures on mountain gorillas; and 4) Engaged Indigenous Ba'Aka and other stakeholders in the design of new community conservation and management areas in Cameroon.

    Expenses $1,369,219 · Grants $843,100

  • Southeast Asia: In Cambodia, we work across 2 million acres of priority forests and coastal marine areas that provide essential habitat for Asian elephants, pangolins, sea turtles and other threatened wildlife. We partner with Indigenous and other communities and government agencies on conservation actions that integrate cultural values and enrich local livelihoods. Key 2022 achievements include: 1) Documented and protected more than 5,900 endangered pileated gibbons in Prey Lang forest, a globally important refuge; 2) Reduced human-elephant conflict in four community areas in the Cardamom Mountains; 3) Advanced conservation of 20,000+ acres of critical marine habitats including coral reefs, mangroves, and Southeast Asia's largest seagrass meadows.

    Expenses $1,000,888 · Grants $10,000

  • Americas: We partner with ProCosta in El Salvador to support population recovery of critically endangered hawksbill sea turtles through nest protection and community engagement. In Belize, we build botanic expertise and create new tools for improved forest management. In the United States, we collaborate with Delaware Wild Lands to rewild the Great Cypress Swamp in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Key 2022 achievements include: 1) Protected 438 hawksbill turtle nests, released over 38,000 hatchlings and trained 150+ members of the local hawksbill conservation network in El Salvador; 2) Conducted botanic field surveys, bringing our list of native tree species in Belize to 1,304 and advanced a prototype for a Trees of Belize digital app; 3) Planted more than 33,000 native Atlantic white cedar and bald cypress trees in the US and designed a monitoring protocol to measure our restoration impact.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
