Wildlife Habitat Strategy and Planning: WHC delivers customized, comprehensive services that help companies align conservation efforts with business needs. WHC works with over 80 members and numerous partners to build strong conservation programs on their lands using a variety of approaches that range from the development of conservation plans, implementation of conservation projects on corporate lands, stakeholder and employee engagement in plan design and implementation, and corporate-wide approaches that leverage conservation to meet a business opportunity. The voluntary conservation programs can be found in 47 U.S. States, the District of Columbia and 19 countries. Comprehensive services focus on property-scale efforts and extend to nature-based solutions to climate change. Under the Climate Action Works Initiative, The Organization helps corporate landowners utilize nature-based climate change solutions that are corporate-driven, community-minded, and biodiversity-based. During a year of challenges related to the pandemic, technical expertise was widely dispensed related to the use of conservation and biodiversity as a tool for health and wellness. Another initiative, across fence lines, seeks to connect corporate lands with urban and community forestry.

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.
