Action Funds

Re:wild works with over 500 partners in more than 80 countries, including a large network of regional and local organizations and conservation leaders that we support to implement solutions to biodiversity loss and climate change. We are in position to respond to each of these partners’ needs to further strengthen their ability to deliver high-impact conservation results.

The Elephant Crisis Fund (ECF) directly supports the best efforts from organizations working to save elephants, giving organizations large and small access to emergency funding and innovative technology to conserve and manage elephant populations.

The Leuser Ecosystem Action Fund (LEAF) helps raise resources to support the network of grassroots activists across the region who protect this wildland. Whether they are focused on orangutan rehabilitation and release, or working with Sumatran rhino protection patrols to prevent poaching, support from the fund allows partners to scale up their work and focus on the long-term impact of their programs.

Within a span of two weeks two in November 2020, Mesoamerica was pummeled by hurricanes Eta and Iota. Nicaragua and Honduras were hit directly. The Category 4 and Category 5 hurricanes recorded winds of 160 miles-per-hour and dumped more than 30 inches of rain, causing mass devastation to the Moskitia Forest— one of the Five Great Forests of Mesoamerica. The Mesoamerica Climate Resilience and Response Fund helps get Indigenous and local communities living in Moskitia emergency relief.

Since our founding, Re:wild has directed bespoke support in the form of mentorship, training, small grants and other career-building opportunities to nearly 50 ‘brilliant and resilient' Associates who represent the next generation working to rewild our planet.

Virunga National Park is one of the most special places on the planet. It is Africa’s oldest and most biologically diverse protected area. It's home to more than 2,000 plant species, 706 bird species, and 218 mammal species. It is the only park in the world that harbors three species of great apes, including Chimpanzees, Lowland Gorillas and Mountain Gorillas, and is home to more species of birds, reptiles and mammals than any other protected area on the continent.
