What we do

Women for Conservation empowers and partners with women around the globe
to protect endangered wildlife and their habitats.

Nature Conservation

We prioritize our work in areas of high biodiversity especially habitats home to critically endangered species under threat of extinction.

From access to knowledge to conservation actions.

To yield the greatest impact, our efforts are concentrated on rural communities near Biodiversity hotspots in the tropics. We use the IUCN Red List to prioritize our sites where urgent actions are required to prevent extinction.

We partner with local and rural women to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the region’s endangered species and habitats.

We directly support the active involvement of rural women in nature conservation. Our conservation efforts vary from supporting the establishment of protected areas, natural resource management, restoration and reforestation of habitat for native species, and adopting sustainable agricultural practices.  Support community-based conservation initiatives led by rural communities, we encourage gender representation and leadership.

Conservation Projects

With the knowledge gained from our experience and the great need for women to be involved in protecting our natural resources, habitats, and species, we support women leading their communities in planning and implementing key conservation projects. In addition to preserving forests and restoring native habitats to save endangered wildlife from extinction, these women strive to prevent threats to vulnerable species, by finding and implementing mitigation measures to tackle threats.

To further ensure their success as guardians of nature and to help build their careers in the field of conservation, we provide access to knowledge, scientific skills, tools, and training opening the world of conservation.

When you help a woman to gain an education, her whole family benefits!

The World Needs Conservation. Conservation Needs WOMEN.

We believe in the power of women and their ability to create change from their hearts.  Our connection with mother earth brings us together to co-create while helping nature to recover and thrive.

We bring together local, national, and global connections among women to support concrete action plans to protect endangered species. On a local level, we unite groups of women to lead conservation projects in their communities. On a national and global level, we bring women together to exchange stories about challenges they have faced and the solutions they have encountered to improve these programs.

Our holistic approach deeply impacts the lives of women and mothers, whose wellbeing has a ripple effect throughout the community. Support our cause today.
