Worldwide, women are often excluded from the spaces where decisions and policies are made about our environment. In fact, International Union for the Conservation of Nature data reveal that in 2020, women held only 15% of top jobs as leaders in the environmental sector. And of all the charitable funding to tackle climate change, 80% goes to organizations led by men and less than 1% of this funding focuses explicitly on women and the environment.

Re:wild celebrates the pivotal role women play in conservation – especially Indigenous women, rangers, scientists and policy-makers – and their unique position to influence positive outcomes for nature. Re:wild also recognizes the professional, personal, and societal challenges women face when working in conservation: access to resources, learning opportunities, role models, and professional networks that are critical for building women’s leadership.

Our Women Rewilding Fund sustains a vibrant, global support network for women conservationists, directly funds women leading high-impact on-the-ground projects, and provides transformative professional development opportunities for women leaders to unlock their full potential. 

Over the last year, the Women Rewilding Fund has supported: 

• Three Rangers from Latin America to participate in and be recognized for their service at the International Ranger Federation’s World Ranger Congress.

• 24 leading female conservationists from around the world to embark on a transformative expedition to define themselves as leaders.

• 1000+ female conservationists to spark vibrant connections with each other, find inspiration and resources, and stay resilient through the Women in Nature Network.

100% of your donation goes directly to supporting more women working to rewild our planet.
