By supporting us, you join us in our quest for a better world. And it’s not just your support we need – we work in collaboration with our impact partners, local communities and governments in the wild places where we strive to leave a lasting impact.
Supporting resilient, biodiverse landscapes and seascapes
Developing community education and healthcare infrastructure
Unlocking new-generation talent, influence, and potential of young leaders
Nurturing climate resilience and sustainable livelihoods
Laying the groundwork that will allow fauna and flora to thrive in wild places requires the support and belief of the communities live in and around these areas. The four pillars of our Theory of Change are not merely theoretical – we have seen them build ripples of meaningful change over three decades of working with neighbouring communities.
Our Theory of Change outlines a practical principle to achieve sustainable impact.
Our name change from Africa Foundation to Wild Impact as of July 2024 marks our expansion beyond Africa, to Asia and South America, enabling us to grow and deepen our global impact in partnership with &Beyond.
While our brand is changing, our trusted methodology will continue to anchor our work and inform all our impact activities.
Wild Impact underlines our shared impact purpose: to work collaboratively with our partner communities and key stakeholders to conserve the landscapes and seascapes in which we operate for generations to come.
What is the story behind the name Wild Impact?
In the 30 years since our impact story began, total wilderness areas have shrunk by a further 10%, while the global human population has increased by a staggering 44%. Our world doesn’t have time for incremental change.
In partnership with &Beyond from now until 2030, we’ll be making twice as much impact and investment across Africa, Asia and South America. We’re aiming to exponentially increase our sphere of impact by protecting 40 million acres of wild places. To achieve this, we need more support from donors, as well as the partners, communities, businesses, conservation teams and governments that we collaborate with.
This Giving Tuesday marks the launch of &Beyond Bhutan and Wild Impact’s Wokuna Pre-Primary School project to support foundational nutrition and education.
