Gift of Giving Christmas Unwrapped


Human activity has driven profound and accelerating changes to our planet’s eco- systems. One million species now face extinction. T is biodiversity crisis isn’t just about the loss of wildlife: it threatens food security, ecosystem resilience and our collective future. T e Whitley Fund for Nature (WFN)


believes the most powerful solutions are local. For over 30 years, WFN has fund- ed and championed grassroots conser- vationists working on the frontline of the biodiversity crisis — leaders rooted in the landscapes they protect, trusted by their communities and best placed to deliver sustainable and ethical change. T rough long-term funding, training


and a global platform to amplify their work, WFN has supported more than 220 local conservation leaders, and the impact of this approach is clear. In Kenya, a community of Sambu-


ru elders, women and warriors have led conservation initiatives for lions, helping their numbers climb to a 15- year high in a region where they were once in decline. In Indonesia, WFN-backed communi-


ty leaders overturned permits for a $3bn (£2.2bn) mega-dam that would have de- stroyed nearly 10,000 acres of pristine rainforest, safeguarding food and water security for over four million people.


29 In Colombia, one partner has trained


over 1,000 local guides, many of whom were previously fi shers, boosting house- hold incomes while protecting the en- dangered pink river dolphin. T ese are just a few of the many


stories proving that community-led conservation achieves lasting results. Because when conservation is peo- ple-centred — refl ecting local values, needs and knowledge — both people and nature thrive. Across more than 80 countries, WFN-supported leaders and communities are protecting wildlife, re- storing ecosystems and improving lives.
